Tschierva Glacier, Alpine glacier in Bernina Range, Switzerland.
The Tschierva Glacier extends over 4 kilometers through the Bernina Range, featuring white ice formations and steep granite walls.
Records from 1973 document the glacier covering 6.2 square kilometers, marking a reference point for measuring its gradual reduction.
Scientists and researchers gather data from the Tschierva Glacier as part of the Swiss glacier monitoring network to study environmental changes.
Visitors access the glacier through marked trails from the Roseg Valley, with summer months offering the most favorable conditions.
The glacier feeds the Ova da Roseg river, creating a water system that sustains local Alpine ecosystems and communities.
