Übeltalferner, Alpine glacier in Ratschings, Italy.
The Übeltalferner glacier extends over 6.2 square kilometers across the Stubai Alps, making it the largest glacial formation in South Tyrol.
The glacier's eastern tongue, known as Ebenferner, underwent substantial melting at the end of the 19th century, marking a notable change in its structure.
The glacier received its name from the surrounding rocky walls that frame the basin where it sits, reflecting local geographical naming traditions.
Two alpine huts, the Müllerhütte and Becherhaus, provide accommodation points near the glacier for mountaineers exploring the area.
Mass balance measurements conducted from 2001 to 2010 revealed consistent negative balances, with maximum losses recorded in 2003 and 2006.
