Magerstein glacier...

Magerstein glacier...

Magerstein glacier (Tristenferner) as it was this summer hiking from the Hochgall hut (rifugio Roma). Compared with the photo (1984) made many years ago, some modifications are evident - August 2005.

Interesting comparison...

Also if the variations (after 20 years) seem less evident than elsewhere: probably the more important changes are in the depth of the glacier, rather than into the extent.

Thanks for posting (both photos)

Re: Interesting comparison...

Maybe the photo is less clear than the caption says. The main difference is certainly in depth but also in the withdrawal of the glacier's mouth. Ther fault is mine if there is not the "right" photo !
