Repeat photos Findel glacier, location 4: Sequential representation

The decline in the Findel Glacier is noticeable in the area of the tongue. Summit: Rimpfischhorn (4199m) on the left and Strahlhorn (4190m) on the right. In between is the Adler Glacier.
In addition to the melting of the glacier, it is also easy to see how the eastern (= in the direction of view left) lateral moraine has changed in the area of the landslide. This is how the landscape was and is formed.
Horizontal distance to the damaged area in the lateral moraine: approx. 5km (measurement map.admin.ch).
Height: 2700m   Viewing angle: 27°   Viewing direction center of photo: E (78°)
