Eiger Glacier, Hanging glacier in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
The Eiger Glacier extends 2.5 kilometers along the northwestern face of the Eiger mountain, featuring crevasses and ice formations at 2,400 meters elevation.
The glacier's surface area measured 2.13 square kilometers in 1973, marking a significant reference point for studying its continuous reduction over subsequent decades.
The Eiger Glacier forms part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site, representing Switzerland's largest protected glacial area.
Visitors reach the glacier via the Eiger Express cable car from Grindelwald terminal, which connects to the mountain station in 15 minutes.
The glacier feeds the Weisse Lütschine river through the Trümmelbach waterfalls, creating a natural water system in the Bernese Alps.
