August 2008; Bernhard Edmayer. | ![Pasterze Pasterze](icons-pasterze/pasterze_stand_1990.jpg) Massive recession is evident from this view taken in 2009. Debris cover reduces ablation on the true right side of the tongue (left in the photo). | ![Pasterze Pasterze](icons-pasterze/sander.jpg) Complex terrain in the glacier forefield. Note various moraine ridges, kettle holes and shifting sand bars. People on the glacier (below) give the scale. |

![Pasterze Pasterze](icons-pasterze/bockkarkees.jpg) Südliches Bockkarkees, north of Pasterze. The layering in the ice is derived from
snow stratification in the accumulation zone. Aerial photo Bernhard Edmayer; 30. August 2008. | ![Pasterze Pasterze](icons-pasterze/gletscherschliff_marmor.jpg) Roches moutonnées and glacial striae in front of Südliches Bockkarkees. Grossglockner (3798m) is on the far right. | ![Pasterze Pasterze](icons-pasterze/kalksinter_kamm.jpg) Carbonate precipitate on a polished rock outcrop in the forefield of Südliches Bockkarkees. | ![Pasterze Pasterze](icons-pasterze/kalksinter.jpg) These carbonate precipitates are already getting dissolved by rainwater. |
