Schlatenkees

The Schlatenkees is a glacier in the Venediger Group that is in the core zone of the High Tauern National Park, east of the Großvenediger.

The glacier flows over a mighty icefall to the Lower Keesboden, a flat area at an altitude of about 2,300 metres (7,500 ft).

The small jagged end of the tongue is at an altitude of 2,100 metres (6,900 ft), above a steep step.

The Schlatenbach joins the Vilhabenbach in the valley floor of the Gschlösstal, and these form the Gschlössbach, which drains into the Black Sea via the Tauernbach, Isel, Drau and Danube.

The Lower Keesboden is furrowed and rich in crevices, instead of the former arch, large, deep funnels show up.
