Repeat photos Gries glacier, location 3a: Sequential representation

This before/after photo series shows how the glacier forefield changes after the glacier has melted. Little by little the dead ice covered with debris and sand melts (seen in the left part of the pictures). The terrain loses its undulating shape. The glacier stream is driving erosion, transporting a lot of sediment and shaping the landscape. The first pioneer plants thrive less than 10 years after the melting of the glacier ice.
