Photographer’s Note
The Pasterze Glacier is 9km long, 300 metres deep and has a surface area of about 20 square kilometers.
This glacier is monitored and markers painted on the valley rock bed show that it has receded some 50
meters in the last few years. The past extent of many of the glaciers in this area can be mapped out by
interpreting the moraine ridges they left behind as they retreated.
