Otemma Glacier

The Otemma Glacier (Glacier d'Otemma) is a 7.7 km long glacier (2005) situated in the Pennine Alps in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. In 1973 it had a length of 8.7 km, and an area of 17.5 km2 but, like most other alpine glaciers, is known to be receding. By 2010 it had receded a further 1.2 km from its 1973 position. In summer 2018, the snout zone (terminus) of the glacier collapsed.
