Aneto Glacier, Largest glacier in Pyrenees, Benasque, Spain.
The Aneto Glacier extends across 75 hectares on the northwestern flank of Mount Aneto, reaching an elevation of 3,404 meters above sea level.
The glacier formation originated during the last ice age, stretching 36 kilometers in length before diminishing substantially over the past 18,000 years.
The Bureau des Guides de Luchon maintains records of mountaineering expeditions and provides documentation about the glacier's changes through generations.
Regular monitoring indicates the glacier continues to decrease in size, with measurements showing a loss of 30 meters in thickness since 1981.
Scientists predict this southernmost European glacier will disappear by 2030 due to temperature increases and reduced precipitation in the region.
