The Alpeiner Ferner is a glacier in the Stubai Alps in Tyrol .
location
The Alpeiner Ferner flows northeast into the Oberbergtal below the Schwarzenberg peaks . It drains via the Alpeiner Bach or Oberbergbach to the Ruetz . In the east it is framed by the Ruderhofspitze and the Westliche Seespitze , in the west a narrow ridge that runs from the western Schwarzenbergspitze to the Schrandele separates it from the Schwarzenbergferner , which drains southwest into the Sulztal .
retreat
At the last high point around 1850, the tongue of the Alpeiner Ferners reached down to a height of around 2200 m . Since then, like other alpine glaciers, it has retreated significantly . At the end of the 1930s, the previously existing connection to several side glaciers, the Alpeiner Kräulferner and Seespitzferner in the east and the Verborgen-Berg-Ferner in the west, broke off. When these Kar glaciers demolished , three nutrient areas for the Alpeiner Ferner were lost, which further accelerated the decline.
Overall, the Alpeiner Ferner lost around 2.2 km in length, 2.9 km² in area and 0.33 km³ in volume between 1850 and 2006. Among the glaciers of the Stubai Alps, the Alpeiner Ferner suffered the third largest loss of area between 1997 and 2006 after the Sulzenauferner and the Bachfallenferner . From 2007 to 2016 the glacier retreated a further 276 m.
history
As one of the easiest glaciers to reach from Innsbruck , the Alpeiner Ferner was considered an alpine attraction from an early age and was visited by Emperor Josef II in 1765, for example . The first artistic image of the glacier was created in 1790 as a copperplate engraving by Franz Karl Zoller , and in 1808 the regional court assessor Josef von Anreiter published a description of the Alpeiner Ferners. In Johann Jakob Staff Jewelers topographical description of Tyrol from 1847 is already the "high traffic Alpeiner Furthermore," the speech. In 1885 the Franz-Senn-Hut was built below the glacier .
From 1860, initially by Ludwig Barth and Leopold Pfaundler , later by Carl Gsaller, the change in length of the Alpeiner Ferners was measured and mapped with the support and on behalf of the German and Austrian Alpine Association.
