Schladminger Gletscher, Alpine glacier in Obertraun, Austria.
The Schladminger Gletscher extends across the Dachstein mountain range at an elevation of 2701 meters, featuring natural snow formations and ice structures.
The glacier surface decreased from 2.163 square kilometers in 1850 to 0.680 square kilometers by 2015, documenting the effects of climate changes.
The Dachstein area received recognition as a protected nature reserve in 1963 and later gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 1998.
Modern cable cars and ski lifts provide direct access to the glacier, where visitors can participate in winter sports from November through April.
Scientists discovered a late Bronze Age settlement near the glacier in 1996, with archaeological findings dating back 3,385 years.
