The panoramic photo of 2010 was taken from a point 10-15m east of the 2012 photo.
The lateral glacier gate (northern side), from which a lot of water flowed out in 2012, has melted away to 100%. The dried up brook bed can be seen on the photographs from 2014 onwards in the foreground. A lot of water now drains off via a new gate, which is located in the ice covered with a lot of debris on the northern slope at the foot of the Löffelhorn. The new glacier gate can be seen well on the photos from 2014 onwards.

This site, which was still covered by the ice until the end of 2012 / beginning of 2013, is located opposite location 3 (on top of the glacier cut / hill approx., in the middle of the picture).
A person can be seen on the right edge of the 2017 image.
The curvature of the various panoramic photos differs, which leads to the poor accuracy of fit.

In 2012, part of the glacier water flowed through a lateral glacier gate. Two years later, the glacier gate was no longer there.

18.08.2014: The Oberrar glacier (Oberrargletscher) reaches laterally almost to the foot of the northern lateral moraine.
02.07.2018: Since the photo taken on 4.7.2017, a landslide / debris flow has detached from the northern moraine.
A little to the right of the center of the photo, the outcrop can be seen above.
On the left, the debris cone of the landslide / debris flow can be seen, which just reached the glacier.
On the photo taken on 4.7.2017, a person can be seen as a size comparison.

In early July 2018, there was still a relatively large amount of snow on the visible area of Oberaar glaciers (Oberaargletscher).

In summer/autumn 2015, part of the glacier collapsed in the area of the glacier tongue. This comparison shows how quickly the main outflow of the Oberaar glacier was uncovered by the melting ice and how quickly the uncovered area increased.

02.07.2022: The photo was taken during one of the hot spells of the summer of 2022. To the right of the rock in the foreground, wet, washed-up sand can be seen. This means that water from the glacial stream flowed into the hollow the day before. In the afternoon of the day the photo was taken, the glacial stream had a lot of water and the hollow was probably flooded again.
These repeat photos show the evolution of the glacier gate as of 2018.
