Glacier recession in the Swiss Alps

Tiefengletscher and Albert Heim Hut viewed from the same location on a rocky ridge about 150 metres east of the hut. The upper photo was taken some time after 1918 (when the hut was inaugurated), and the lower photo in 2021 after its extension. A new proglacial lake is just visible below left-centre in the new picture. (Old photo: author unknown, 2021: Alean).
