Three of Europe's greatest rivers - the Rhine, Rhone, and Po - begin in the same Alpine ice field in central Switzerland, and their impact on European culture, economy, and society is immeasurable. These rivers shaped the landscape, economy, and cultural diversity of France, Germany, and Italy. However, the glaciers that feed these rivers are rapidly disappearing, signaling a catastrophic loss. Winder explores the mountain landscape, the glaciers' story, and the cultural consequences of their potential loss.
