Skuta Glacier, Alpine glacier in Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Slovenia

Located beneath Mount Skuta, this glacial formation extends between elevations of 2020 and 2110 meters in the Municipality of Jezersko.

The glacier surface measured 2.8 hectares in 1950 and diminished to 1.7 hectares by 2013, reflecting substantial changes in Alpine environmental conditions.

Scientists and researchers regularly monitor the glacier to study climate patterns and environmental modifications in the southeastern region of the Alps.

Visitors can reach the glacier through a 15-minute walk from the Kranjski koča na Ledinah mountain hut, which provides shelter and refreshments.

As the most southeastern glacier in the Alps, it maintains an average ice thickness of 7 meters and contains approximately 80,000 cubic meters of ice.
