Pasterze ice recession

1900

2009

Historical photo from around 1900 (Source: Wikipedia) with Grossglockner on the upper right. The photo was taken from below Glockner-Haus. The repeat photo from 2009 was taken from a somewhat higher Position, right near Glocknerhaus. Therefore the perspective is not identical but clearly shows the massive glacier rescission: The glacier tongue is no longer visible from this location.
