The Morteratsch Glacier is located in the Bernina Range of the Swiss Alps, near the town of Pontresina. It is one of the largest glaciers in the region, stretching approximately 7 kilometers in length. The glacier is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. As part of the Rhaetian Alps, the Morteratsch Glacier is an important indicator of climate change, as it has been retreating significantly over the past century. This retreat has led to increased research and monitoring efforts to understand the impacts of global warming on glacial environments.
