The flat Plaine-Morte glacier lies there like a white carpet. Geologists call such glaciers, restricted to high plateaus, plateau glaciers. To the north, the glacier is slightly sloping and flows into the tongue of the Rezligletscher. This is where the Trüebbach originates, which further down merges with the source waters of the Siebenbrunnen into the Simme.
