Jungfraujoch

Caption

The high altitude research station Jungfraujoch is situated on a mountain saddle in the central Swiss Alps between the Jungfrau (3580 m a.s.l.) in the West and the Moench (4099 m a.s.l.) in the East. According to the researchers, emissions from these CFCs currently do not significantly threaten ozone recovery. With the current rate of increase, however, they could become a significant contribution of the total emissions of ozone-depletion chemicals.
