View of Hintereisferner Glacier (IMAGE) University of Innsbruck Caption View of Hintereisferner on 23 June 2018 (left) and 23 June 2022 (right). 2018 is considered a bad year for the mass balance of the glacier. In 2022, however, the situation was even dramatically worse, as there was hardly any protective snow cover left already in June.
