On the right you can see the "Spitze Stei". In the middle of March 2019, an estimated 15 million cubic metres of rock moved downhill at a rate of 4 mm per day. The photo taken on 19.10.2018 shows that the Doldenhorn north face is rarely illuminated by the sun so late in the year.
Distance from photo location to glacier tongue: approx. 4.5km.

Below the saddle between Doldenhorn (3628m, top left) and Kleindoldenhorn (3474m, top right), an exceptionally large bergschrund opened in summer 2022.

23.08.2024: The Schrund has continued to increase in width. This means that the ice masses below have slipped further. Presumably thanks to the snowy winter of 2023/24, the upper part of the Schrund has been partially filled with snow.
Summit on the right: Kleindoldenhorn (3474m). Height of the knee in the glacier: ca. 3180m (measured at mean elevation of the knee on map.admin.ch).
Possible cause: As a result of the persistently high temperatures in summer 2022, meltwater reduced the adhesion of the ice to the downslope bedrock slabs. As a result, the entire mass of ice slowly slid down.

This photo comparison shows the Spitze Stei and the slope below the Spitze Stei. This flank has been moving downhill since summer 2018. The volume of the rock masses in movement is several million cubic meters. One of the causes of these movements is melting permafrost.
