The largest glacier by the road and really impressive. It is extensively marketed. The tickets for a ride on the glacier are unbelievably expensive. However, you can also walk onto the glacier without paying. It's quite a hustle here with a very large hotel, restaurant, and even a Starbucks. People are taken to the glacier by large tour buses. Hundreds every hour.
From the landscape and old photos, it is clear that the glacier is already hundreds of meters shorter than it was about 80 years ago.
