Eiskar
The Eiskar is the only existing glacier in the Carnic Alps, a mountain range in Austria and Italy. It is a typical cirque glacier that, thanks to its shady location and to avalanche breaks in its catchment area, has been able to survive at the relatively low height of 2160–2390 metres above sea level.
- Glacier with an elevation of 1,800 metres (5,906 feet)
- Description: glacier in the Carnic Alps in Carinthia
- Also known as“Eiskaar”“Eiskar Glacier”
