Austria’s most popular glacier at the foot of Gro\u00dfglockner – Austria’s highest mountain. Pasterze is the largest part of a combined mountain glacier system in the Austrian Alps (Hohe Tauern) with several accumulation basins and valley glaciers. The total area of Pasterze Glacier is 16.3 km\u00b2 (2012) and covers and altitudinal range from 2100 to 3500 m a.s.l.. The 5 km long distinctive glacier tongue is partly covered by a 5-20 cm thick debris layer, exposed to SE and draining into the M\u00f6ll river. Geophysical surveys in 1998 revealed a maximum ice thickness of 320 m and a mean ice thickness of 64 m. Mass balance measurements were carried out between 1979\/80 and 1996\/97 and resumed in 2004\/05. The mean annual mass loss of the entire investigation period is -0.9 m w.e. a-1<\/sup> and -1.1 m w.e. a-1<\/sup> for the last decade. Geodetic mass balances show a mean mass loss of 0.56 m w.e. a-1<\/sup> between 1969 and 1998 and 1.21 m w.e. a-1<\/sup> between 1998 and 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
