The majority of Europe's glaciers are found in the Alps, Caucasus and the Scandinavian Mountains (mostly Norway) as well as in Iceland. Iceland has the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull Glacier, that covers between 8,100 and 8,300 km 2 in area and 3,100 km 3 in volume.

All articles about glaciers, glaciology, geologic and geographical impacts from glaciers, as well as climatological articles directly related to glaciers. The Malaspina Glacier is so large that it can only seen in its entirety from space; this 1994 photo from STS-66 , on a rare clear day, is of an area about 100 km (60 mi) across.

This is a non-exhaustive list of the major glaciers in Switzerland. It contains their surface area, their lengths since the start of measurement and the most current year, their height and their outflow. Most of them are retreating and many will vanish. [1] All of these glaciers are located within the Swiss Alps.
