Repeat photos Grueben glacier, location 1: Sequential representation

The photos from 2018 were taken earlier in the year than those from 2009 and 2019. Accordingly, there was even more snow.
The photo from 2019 shows that the tongue has lost contact with the glacier. Not just yesterday, but a few years ago. There is now a large amount of ice without new ice (= dead ice) in the plain WSW of the lake. This dead ice is expected to melt in the coming years.
Height: 2345m   Viewing direction center of photo: WSW
