Unders and Obers Ischmeer 2012Photos from the path to Schreckhornhütte (SAC): Since a few years Underes and Oberes Ischmeer no longer reach Unterer Grindelwaldgletscher. Therefor it forms a separate glacier, and is no longer a tributary of Unterer Grindelwaldgletscher. | |||
 View from Bäregghütte across the forefield of Unterer Grindelwaldgletscher; on the left are deep channels which were formed by moraine collapse. |  Tele photo view from Bärgghütte: Remains of the demolished Stieregghütte; behind ice debris from Unterer Grindelwaldgletscher; note prominent foliation. |  View downvalley over the forefield of Unterer Grindelwaldgletschers with landslide from the Eiger east face. |  Fluted lateral moraine on the true left side of the tongue of Unterer Grindelwaldgletscher. |
 A new small glacial and a awaterfall have recently emerged at Unterer Grindelwaldgletscher. Note syncline structure in the foliation right of centre. |  Small ice avalanche at "Heissi Blatta"; note also falling rocks. |  South of "Bänisegg" sheep rest on a late glacial lateral moraine. |  The path to Schreckhornhütte leads along a spectacular icefall between Obers and Unders Ischmeer. |

The photo may require scrolling to the right. |  Ochs or Kleines Fiescherhorn: The NE-wall is covered by a beautiful ice apron; note prominent bergschrund at its base. |  Schreckhornhütte (SAC) is located 2529 m.a.s.l. and offers a great view over the firn basin of the Oberes Ischmeer. |  In the evening ibex have approached the hut in order to lick salt which is provided for them. |
 The sun sets on the right of the Eiger east ridge; in the foreground is the great icefall below Schreckhornhütte. |  Evening light on the crevasses of the icefall below Oberes Ischmeer. |  The setting sun casts its warm light on Schreckhorn (4078m) and a small hanging glacier on its western flank. |  Alpine glow: Finsteraarhorn (left) and Agassizhorn shortly before sunset; tele photo view from Schreckhornhütte. |
