  •  Comment It seems a bit sad to illustrate a glacier with so little ice. This other picture might be more "fashionable" (the glacier is more obvious), but perhaps the current candidate shows better the work of the glacier in the valley (the moraine in the foreground), if not the glacier itself. --Eusebius (talk) 21:58, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The glacier might be covered in snow on the other photograph, thus making it difficult to distinguish from the landscape, but the picture clearly shows the track of the glacier, from the névé to a moraine, well-centred on the picture, whereas on the candidate, the glacier is only in the background, seen from a low point of view that makes it difficult to decide, by the subject itself, whether it is a glacier or only residual snow. --Eusebius (talk) 10:06, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
