On Wednesday, the glacier known as Birchgletscher collapsed under the weight of rock and debris from rock avalanches on Kleines Nesthorn. The resulting debris buried most of the Swiss village Blatten in the Lötschental, Valais.

The imagery was processed in Metashape and the model georeferenced to the swissALTI3D DEM and SWISSIMAGE Orthomosaic. By comparing the swissALTI3D DEM and the created photogrammetric DEM, I estimate the total displaced volume to be approximately 10 Mio m³.
