Aletsch Glacier
The Aletsch Glacier (Aletschgletscher) is the largest glacier in the Alps located in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland. In 2014 it was 23 km long. However, like most glaciers in the world the Aletsch Glacier is gradually retreating. Between 1980 and 2016 it lost 1.3 km in length.
The glacier is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001.
I took the photo from Moosfluh, near Bettmeralp, Switzerland.
