Site Description
The formation of a periglacial lake was forced at the glacier terminus in recent years by the fast disintegration of the glacier. The development of the untere Eisboden See is well documented. Since August 2002, a runoff gauge installed by the Hydrographical Service of Salzburg has recorded the discharge at the outlet of the new Unterer Eisboden See.
