EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, taken in 1937 at the Hospice du Grand Saint-Bernard, located at an altitude of 2472 meters in the Swiss Alps, we witness a poignant moment of life-saving rescue. The image captures the selfless dedication of St. Bernard dogs and the compassionate care of the priests who reside at the hospice. A skier, injured and trapped in the aftermath of an avalanche, lies motionless on the snow-covered slope. The sense of stillness and isolation is palpable, as the heavy snowfall buries the surrounding landscape, creating a stark contrast against the stark white piste. Amidst the tranquility, the St. Bernard dogs, renowned for their exceptional sense of smell and courage, spring into action. Their keen noses detect the scent of the trapped skier, and they eagerly approach the scene, their tails wagging with determination. The dogs' powerful muscles strain as they dig through the snow, creating a small clearing around the victim. The priests, dressed in their monk robes, tend to the injured skier with a sense of urgency and care. They offer comfort and warmth, while also providing essential medical attention. The priests' calming presence adds a layer of hope and solace to the scene, as the rescuers work tirelessly to extract the victim from the snow. The image is a testament to the unwavering commitment of the St. Bernard dogs and the priests at the Hospice du Grand Saint-Bernard, who have dedicated their lives to saving the lives of unfortunate travelers lost in the darkness and snow on the Alpine pass. This powerful photograph encapsulates the spirit of selflessness, courage, and compassion that defines the essence of mountain rescue.
