Lower Grindelwald Glacier

Photo: Lower Grindelwald Glacier. View of the area that made headlines around 2007. On the right is the rock floe that has detached from the Eiger. Behind it is the tongue of the Lower Grindelwald Glacier. The glacial lake that threatens Grindelwald is forming in this area. A relief tunnel is to alleviate the danger. The glacier has an upper moraine.
