| Description |
at this time, the glacier arrives above the glacier of the Sources of the Arc, and a lot of serac falls happens, making a suture between the two glaciers (Sources of the Arc and Mulinet). |

| Note |
this glacier is limited on its downstream end by a rock bar. It ends making a vertical front from where many seracs take off. These ice falls can make regenerated glaciers (or neve). The moraine of the glacier of Mulinet usually generates mud-flows (p55 « les risques naturels d’origine glaciaire ») |
