Unteraar glacier: Debris-covered ice flow and signs of decay on 24 June 2023
Photo time: 24.06.2023
Description:
This interactive 360° drone panorama photo shows the debris-covered ice flow of the Unteraar glacier. The debris has an insulating effect, but cannot prevent the glacier from melting. In the part of the ice flow on the left in the direction of view, the meltwater has eaten deep meltwater channels into the ice. The side walls of the meltwater channels are exposed to the warm air, which accelerates the melting of the glacier.
