I can confirm Bostjans story! The Pasterce is one of my favorite hiking
destinations, and during the last 15 years I have kept going back every once

pano documentation of the situation in 2009, and it's uploaded to 360Cities:
http://www.360cities.net/map#lat=47.07848&lng=12.74517&zoom=14 The lake to
the south east is were the glacier used to end in 1900 in a dramatic hundred
meter high wall of ice... it's about 2 km away from the current end of the
glacier.
