Rhine Glacier, Alpine glacier in Uri Canton, Switzerland
The Rhine Glacier extends through the Swiss Alps at 2,580 meters elevation, featuring multiple ice formations that contribute to the Rhine River water system.
During the last ice age, the Rhine Glacier carved valleys and shaped the current landscape of central Switzerland, extending its influence to Lake Constance.
The glacier holds significance in Swiss mountain traditions, with local communities maintaining records of its changes through generations of alpine farming families.
Visitors reach the glacier through marked hiking trails from nearby mountain stations, requiring proper equipment and weather monitoring for safe exploration.
Scientific measurements at the Rhine Glacier provide data about climate patterns, with markers indicating the glacier's position changes over the past century.
