Zmutt Glacier, Valley glacier in Valais, Switzerland
The Zmutt Glacier extends 6 kilometers through the Pennine Alps, featuring an extensive surface covered with natural rock debris from surrounding mountain formations.
Since 1859, the glacier has experienced a reduction of 6,255 feet in length, with measurements discontinued in 2010 due to stagnation at its terminus point.
Scientists and researchers regularly study this glacier to understand the effects of climate change on alpine environments and water resources in Switzerland.
Visitors can reach the glacier area through a cable car service from Zen Stecken, with weekly guided tours available during summer months.
The rock debris covering the glacier surface acts as natural insulation, resulting in a slower response to temperature changes compared to other glaciers.
