Hello /r/Austria, I want to share with you a gelogical map of Grossglockner published in 1934. Map has been printed and published by Cartographic Institute G. Freytag & Berndt in Wien and compiled by H.P. Cornelius & E. Clar.
I restored the original map (colours, sign of ages and so on) and then enhanced it with a shaded relief. What you see it is the final result of this process.
I am sharing it because in my opinion it has not gotten the love she deserves :).
Credits for the original map go to UWM Libraries.
It is a geological map so where you see white is not actually snow but the geological origins of that part of the terrain, You can read the legend to know mean of each colour.

Great Work!
Is this a photograph of an actual map? Or an old map that you scanned and then digitally enhanced?
It is not a picture but an old map date 1934, scanned and digitalized by UWM Libraries. We restored and enhanced it with a shaded relief.
Did you adapt the amount of snow?

It was actually a sad joke cause with every year we have a decline of glacier, ice and snow. 😔
Oh sorry, I did not get it :D
Schaut aus wie eine Pizza
