The Daberkees (formerly also Taber Ferner ) is a glacier in the Granatspitz group in the Lienz district (East Tyrol). It is located between Amertaler Höhe and Sillingkopf .
The Daberkees extends between the Donabaumscharte ( 2732 m above sea level ) in the northeast, the Amertaler Höhe ( 2841 m above sea level ) in the northwest and the Sillingkopf ( 2858 m above sea level ) in the southeast, with Amertaler Höhe and Sillingkopf are connected by the Firnsattel of the Sillingscharte ( 2784 m above sea level ). The majority of the glacier area lies on the western slopes of Amertaler Höhe and Sillingkopf, and to the east, a smaller proportion of the glacier slopes from the Sillingscharte to the west. The maximum west-east extension measured from the Sillingscharte is around 400 meters. To the west, the glacier flows in a narrow band over a length of around 300 meters.
At the beginning of the 1870s, the Daberkees reached just under 2,400 meters and thus reached almost to the Hauptmerscharte in the south. In addition, the glacier completely covered the then non-existent Dabersee. The west-east extension of the Sillingscharte was around 1.4 kilometers at that time. In the course of the glacier retreat, however, the glacier retreated further and further. In the middle of the 20th century, the glacier reached up to a wall step at 2660 meters, collected there at the lower edge at 2600 meters and reached almost its entire width down to 2480 to 2460 meters. By the beginning of the 21st century, the glacier retreated behind this wall step.
