*This Model was made with Blender and with the addon GIS you can download on Github* The Great Aletsch Glacier has shaped the landscape of the Aletsch Arena over thousands of years. During the last ice age (around 18,000 years ago), ice still covered the mountain ridges between the Bettmerhorn and the Riederhorn. The Aletsch Glacier is a vision of primaeval beauty. This huge river of ice that stretches over 20 km from its formation in the Jungfrau region (at 4000 m) down to the Massa Gorge, around 2500 m below, fascinates and inspires every visitor. **20 km length** This makes the Great Aletsch Glacier the longest ice stream in the Alps. **10 billion tonnes** is the weight of the Great Aletsch Glacier. **800 metres** is the thickest ice on the glacier. This is located at Konkordiaplatz. **79 square kilometres** is the surface of the Great Aletsch Glacier [https://www.aletscharena.ch/en/world-natural-heritage-site/great-aletsch-glacier](http://) Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
