Triglav glacier, Alpine glacier in Triglav National Park, Slovenia

The glacier sits at an elevation between 2400 and 2500 meters, consisting of ice masses that vary in size throughout different seasons.

The glacier covered 40 hectares at the end of the 19th century but split into two sections in 1992 due to continuous temperature increases.

Scientists and researchers regularly monitor this glacier to study climate patterns and document environmental changes in the Julian Alps region.

Access to the glacier requires proper mountaineering equipment and guidance from experienced local guides who understand the mountain conditions.

Temperature measurements at nearby Kredarica station recorded the highest average melting season temperature of 5.5°C in 2018.

Location: Municipality of Kranjska Gora

GPS coordinates: 46.37906,13.84341
