Repeat photos Festi glacier, location 1: Sequential representation

The horizontal distance from the location 1 to the glacier tongue is about 6.7km.
The dark summit on the right of the picture is the Grabenhorn (3370m). On the comparison photo you can see that the sunlit flank (called Grabengufer) has moved downhill in the last 4 years. This flank has been causing problems for quite some time and is the reason why the Europaweg today traverses this valley further down via the Charles Kuonen suspension bridge. This suspension bridge is almost 500m long.
Height: 2226m
