Aare Glacier

Aare Glacier is a large glacier located in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, flowing from the high mountains into the Aare River valley. It covers an area of roughly 16 square kilometers and has been retreating over the past century due to climate change. As a glacier, it is a massive, slow-moving mass of ice that forms from compacted snow and helps shape the landscape through erosion. The glacier is important for understanding regional glacial changes and water resources, as melting glaciers contribute to river flow and sea level rise.
