05.08.2025: The water level of the northern lake is approximately 2 meters lower than in July 2022. Since July 2022, the ridge that separated the two lakes has melted away. At the same time, the glacier has lost thickness. As a result, the northern lake now drains via the southern lake, and the water level of the northern lake has adjusted to that of the southern lake.
The Witenwassern Glacier has two outflows. This comparison shows the glacier at the northern of the two outflows. During our first visit in 2011, the place where the pictures were taken was still covered with glacier ice.

In these repeat photos you can see that the elevated area in front of the glacier has not changed in the last almost 8 years.

The panorama photo from 2011 was not taken from a tripod. Therefore, the accuracy of the fit leaves much to be desired. In the panoramic photo from 2019, it is difficult to see that a valley has formed between the glacier and the foreground since 2011. See comparison of location 5.
