Übergossene Alm
Glacier · Austria
The Übergossene Alm is the summit region of the Hochkönig (2,941 m) in the Berchtesgaden Alps. It contains the remains of a glacier that used to cover almost the entire summit plateau; in 1888 around 5.5 km2 of the plateau was covered by an ice sheet. Since then the glacial surface has melted until it now covers just 1.5 km2 and the glacier has split into three, small crevasse-free areas. The name of the glacier goes back to a local legend.
