The Eiger Glacier (Template:Langx) is a glacier situated on the north-west side of the Eiger in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, within the municipality of Lauterbrunnen in the canton of Bern.[1] It extends from a height of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level behind the Little Eiger, a secondary peak to the west of the Eiger, and runs towards the valley in the direction of the Eigergletscher railway station. Another tongue, at Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level, is in the form of a hanging glacier between the Eiger and Little Eiger.

The glacier is Script error: No such module "convert". with an area of Script error: No such module "convert"., reduced from an area of Script error: No such module "convert". recorded in 1973.[2] From 1993 to 2017 it retreated by around Script error: No such module "convert". as the glacier melted.[2] In 1990, a large, continuous crack was discovered during a helicopter flight, leading the Template:Ill to begin research work, to gain knowledge about hanging glaciers and develop measures to protect the Jungfrau railway station. The threatened collapse occurred in 1990, but without causing any damage. Since then an automatic camera has taken a photo of the glacier every day.[3]
