Before/after comparison photo of Eiger glacier (Bernese Alps)

Height: ca. 2450 - 3550m
Location: Grindelwald, Bernese Oberland, Switzerland Show glacier on: Swiss map... GLAMOS...
The Eiger Glacier flows from the foot of the south flank of the Eiger (3967m) south past the Chlyne Eiger (3466m) towards the west down to an altitude of about 2450m (2020). While the lower part of the Eiger glacier can be seen very well from the Jungfrau Railways station of the same name, the upper part is hidden by the Chly Eiger. The Eiger Glacier is an optically important part of the unique triumvirate of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The Eiger Glacier has practically no alpine significance.
