Panoramic view of the proglacial environment at approx. 5000 m asl. Pastoruri Glacier (background) has experienced an accelerated degree of retreat during the previous years, so that the chunk of ice in the right background of the image has become isolated from the main glacier tongue. In 1970, the area of the proglacial lake shown in the right foreground was still covered by the glacier.
