The Damma Glacier (
German: Dammagletscher) is a small glacier situated in the central
Swiss Alps.[1][2] It has been in
retreat since around 1850.[3] The area between the front of the retreating glacier and the
moraine from the most recent
glacier recession – called the glacial forefield[4] – measures 10.7 square kilometres (4.1 sq mi) and is composed of
granitic rocks.[3][1]
