Aarschlucht. Meiringen, by Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy. Photo of the Aar Gorge, Switzerland. The gorge through the limestone ridge was formed due to erosion by glacial meltwater at the end of the last ice age. The river Aar flows through the bottom of the narrow gorge. The public have been able to walk through the gorge via a series of paths, walkways and tunnels since 1888. Black and white photographic lantern slide
