Ice avalanches |

| Description |
In the night from 18th to 19th of October 2001 an iceavalanche came down over a rockwall in the middle of the glacier. The avalanche started at 2650 m altitude and reached down to 2540 m. It developed a deposit area of 130 * 70 m and had a volume of 15.000 m³. Fortunately the last years snow that still covered the glacier surface had the effect of brake. Therefore the iceavalanche stopped before it could reach a proglacial lake. |
