"One of the longest glaciers in the alps"

Glacier | Großglockner | Carinthia | Austria | 2004
The Pasterze, at approximately 8.4 kilometers in length, is the longest glacier in Austria reaching from the 3,453-metre Johannisberg to 2,100 metres above sea level. It lies within the Hohe Tauern mountain range in Carinthia, directly beneath Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner. The Grossglockner is, at 3,798 m above sea level, Austria's highest mountain and the highest mountain in the Alps east of the Brenner Pass. This makes it, after Mont Blanc, the second most prominent mountain in the Alps. (Origin: Wikipedia)
