Summit on the right: Kleindoldenhorn (3474m). Height of the knee in the glacier: ca. 3180m (measured at mean elevation of the knee on map.admin.ch).
Possible cause: As a result of the persistently high temperatures in summer 2022, meltwater reduced the adhesion of the ice to the downslope bedrock slabs. As a result, the entire mass of ice slowly slid down.
