Field notes
Unnamed. The highest ice in the register: a body of 0.68 km² that begins at 7,473 m and reaches 8,142 m, the highest elevation on any sheet in this survey window. Length on record: 755 m. At this altitude the glacier is small, cold, and slow; the modelled series moves from 0.71 km² in 1990 to 0.61 km² in 2020 — one tenth of a square kilometre across thirty years. The register keeps small records with the same care as large ones. Altitude is not immunity; it is delay.
