The Palü Glacier is located in the Bernina Range of the Swiss Alps, near the town of Pontresina. It is known for its stunning blue ice and dramatic crevasses, making it a popular destination for hikers and climbers. The glacier covers an area of approximately 13 square kilometers and is one of the largest glaciers in the region. Due to climate change, the Palü Glacier has been retreating over the years, which has raised concerns about its future. Scientists study the glacier to understand the effects of global warming on alpine environments. The glacier is also a vital water source for local rivers and ecosystems.
