Alps field trip highlights climate change impacts

Students from Scheffold-Gymnasium conducted a geography field trip to the Alps to study climate change and geological formations. The group visited the Partnach Gorge near Garmisch-Partenkirchen to observe the Partnach River's erosion and rock formations.

The excursion included a visit to the Zugspitze plateau, where students observed the significant recession of glaciers. Guides noted that the melting ice has begun to reveal historical artifacts, including debris from World War II, such as grenades, alongside older items like ski poles and cables.
