Ghiacciaio dell'Adamello, Glacier in Lombardy and Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

The Adamello Glacier extends between 2,550 and 3,530 meters above sea level, covering an area of 1,630 hectares in the Italian Alps.

During World War I, Italian and Austrian troops established fortifications and trenches on the glacier, leaving behind military artifacts now revealed by ice melting.

The glacier divides into six distinct units: Miller Superiore, Corno Salarno, Salarno, Adamello, Adamé, and Mandrone, each contributing to local Alpine traditions.

Visitors access the glacier through mountain trails, with several mountain refuges offering accommodations for multi-day exploration of this natural formation.

The glacier functions as a direct precipitation collector, with its mass primarily sustained by direct snowfall rather than avalanches or snow accumulation.
