Medelser glacier, Alpine glacier in Grisons, Switzerland
The Medelser glacier extends across the Adula Massif mountain range at an elevation of 3210 meters, featuring extensive ice formations and steep slopes.
The glacier has been a natural landmark in the Gotthard Pass region, which served as a crucial European transit route connecting different Alpine territories.
Scientists conduct regular measurements and observations at Medelser glacier to monitor changes in ice mass and document the effects of temperature variations.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to observation points around the glacier, with designated rest areas and information panels explaining geological characteristics.
The glacier creates a natural water reservoir that supplies fresh mountain water to surrounding valleys through an intricate network of streams and tributaries.
