Eiskar Glacier, Alpine glacier in Kötschach-Mauthen, Austria.
The glacier extends 400 meters across the Carnic Alps, situated at elevations between 2160 and 2390 meters above sea level in southern Austria.
The Italian geographer Olinto Marinelli conducted the first scientific survey of the Eiskar Glacier in 1897, initiating regular measurements that continue today.
The glacier area contains military fortifications from the mountain warfare between Austrian and Italian forces during World War I from 1915 to 1918.
Visitors can reach the glacier through a climbing route from below or by following an upper path across the Kellerwand rock formation.
This natural formation stands as the southernmost and last remaining glacier in the Carnic Alps, persisting due to winter snow accumulation and avalanches.
