Drau glacier, Former glacier at Grossglockner base, Carinthia, Austria
This glacier rests at coordinates 46°36'46"N and 13°53'25"E, within the southeastern region of the Alps mountain range in Austria.
During the Pleistocene period, the Drau Glacier formed the largest ice mass in the southeastern Alps, creating numerous geological formations across Carinthia.
Scientists and researchers study the glacier's remnants to understand Alpine glacial patterns and document climate variations throughout different geological periods.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails around the former glacier site, which require proper mountain equipment and weather condition checks before departure.
The glacier's sediment sequences contain detailed geological records that reveal complex patterns of glacial advances and retreats over thousands of years.
