The horizontal distance from the place of recording to the left glacier tongue is 6.7km.
Summits: Dom, 4545m (left) and Täschhorn (4491m). In between the Domjoch, 4278m.
It is clearly visible how the ice in the steep summit area has flowed downhill in recent years and gained mass. If the mass exceeds a certain size, a part of this area will break off.
