Repeat photos 2005-2019 and Moosfluh mass movementFor several years a major mass movement has been observed between Moosfluh and Grosser Aletschgletscher. It has a surface area of approximately two square kilometres and a total volume of up to 150 Million cubic metres. It may be related to the downwasting of the glacier tongue. As a result of the mass movement, several hiking trails had to be closed. Currently various methods of remote sensing are used to observe the process. | |||

| During a recent excursion organized by the Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Schnee, Eis und Permafrost participants were able to enter the area on August 24th, 2019, thanks to a special permit. During this excursion repeat photos of Grosser Aletschgletschers could be taken from locations which currently are not otherwise acessible. Photos Jürg Alean. | |||
