Suretta Sud Glacier - Servizio Glaciologico Lombardo

2008 glaciological
Survey
Variations versus previous surveys (before 2007)
Fig. 3: The small Vedretta di Remulo (Adamello Massif), despite its low altitude, does not show many variations
versus the previous survey (2003). The protection offered by the rocky wall and the avalanche accumulations
has kept this glacial apparatus substantially stable. (September 18, 2008; photo by V. Paneri).
