Larch trees compete with man at the mouth of the retreating Zmutt Glacier beneath the imposing Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. Whilst larches can recolonise land exposed by the retreating glaciers in just 5-10 years, here above Zmutt in Zermatt, the trees have competition in the form of man shaping the terrain in a quest for building materials and hydroelectric power.
