Grossglockner and Pasterze Glacier, Austria

Grossglockner and Pasterze Glacier, Austria
Best enlarged

Scanned from a 1987 35mm slide.

The Grossglockner (German pronun­cia­tion: [ˈɡʀoːsˌɡlɔknɐ]; German: Großglockner or just Glockner is, at 3,798 metres above the Adriatic (12,461 ft), the highest mountain in Austria and the highest mountain in the Alps east of the Brenner Pass. It is part of the larger Glockner Group of the Hohe Tauern range, situated along the main ridge of the Central Eastern Alps and the Alpine divide. The Pasterze, Austria's most extended glacier, lies on the Grossglockner's eastern slope.

The characteristic pyramid-shaped peak actually consists of two pinnacles, the Grossglockner and the Kleinglockner (3,770 m (12,370 ft), from German: gross, "big", klein, "small"), separated by the Glocknerscharte col.
