Pizol

The Pizol is a mountain in the Glarus Alps of northeastern Switzerland, overlooking Wangs in the canton of St. Gallen.

There are five mountain lakes (Pizolseen) on Pizol: Wangsersee at Pizolhütte, Wildsee, Schottensee, Schwarzsee (2368 m) and Baschalvasee (2174 m).

[3] A small cirque glacier,[4] the Pizolgletscher, had been located above 2,600 metres on the northern side of the mountain.

[5] On 22 September 2019, a 'funeral' and mourning ceremony was held for the Pizol glacier which had disappeared due to rising temperatures.

[6] [7] A similar ceremony had been held in August when the Okjökull glacier in Iceland disappeared.
