There are many bergschrunds in the area and have formed from the glacier that once sat in the cirque here. 

Description


Bergschrund

A bergschrund (from the German for mountain cleft) is a crevasse that forms where a moving glacier ice separates from the stagnant ice or firn above. It is often a serious obstacle for mountaineers, who sometimes abbreviate "bergschrund" to "schrund".
