Gurglerferner (2026)
Beautifully rich textures and structures, emphasized by the hard light and created by glacial abrasion of this once great (and still utterly majestic) glacier flowing directly from the central Alpine divide. If you squint you can see a faint path zigzagging up the exposed & plucked bedrock near the center bottom... Like the Vernagtferner in a neighboring valley, this glacier too has caused ice lakes to form several times over the past centuries, occasionally ending in GLOFs (glacial outflow floods) causing widespread destruction in the valleys below...
