11.07.2022: The snow in the right part of the picture still covers the lake almost completely. In November 2019, a lot of snow fell, which was able to become well twisted. In the snow an approx. 3m wide channel has formed, through which the meltwater flows off.

16.08.2016: The area covered by the lake was still under ice a few years before. Drainage was via an above-ground drain to the right. To be seen e.g. on the 2016 panorama photo of site 1.
11.07.2022: Due to the melting of the glacier, the surface runoff shifted further and further away from the location 4. As can be seen in the overview photo (aerial photograph) from 2018, the runoff was still above ground at that time. On 11.7.2022, the water flowed out via glacier. The level of the lake has dropped markedly. The appearance of this area has changed considerably.
Furthermore, the area on the left can be nicely seen in these repeat photos as it was lowered by the melting of the ice. I.e. what looked like a scree slope was a part of the Chaltwater Glacier covered with debris.
