Due to their almost coincident nomenclature and proximity, they should not be confused with the 7) Eastern Salenques and 8) Western Salenques Glacier.
They occupy one of the headwaters of the Barrancs Valley, between the Aguja de Salenques (2,928 m) and the Pico de Salenques (2,995 m). Little known and probably overshadowed by the neighbouring Tempestades Glacier, they were visible from numerous points on the high mountain routes of the Aneto-Maladeta massif.
During the Little Ice Age, the northern Glacier became a modest glacier, reaching a length of 360 m. During the second half of the 1980s, both were considered to be glaciers in an acceptable state of preservation.
In 2007, in the southern glacier Glacier, only remnants of residual ice were visible, which ended up disappearing completely in 2012. The northern glacier, despite having significantly reduced its extension, maintained its status as an ice field until 2009, when it was classified as residual, and ice remains were observed for another decade until its total extinction in 2019.
