Located at the northern base of the Cilindro de Marboré and Pico Marboré, the three glaciers together formed the so-called East Glacier of Marboré, also known as the Cilindro Glacier, which remained united with the Monte Perdido Glacier until 1901 (see description in 58) Upper Glaciers and 59) Lower Glacier of Monte Perdido).
With an individual head 1.8 km wide, the East Glacier of Marboré or Cilindro Glacier continued its own evolution after separating from the Glacier of Monte Perdido. In the years 1982-1985, it continued to behave as a single glacier, although the trend towards the three subsequent glaciers was already clearly evident. This situation remained until the mid-1990s when it fragmented into two units, called Eastern and Western Marboré. A new split in 2006 defined the subsequent structure of the three formations, Eastern, Central and Western. In 2012, only the Central glacier showed weak glacial dynamics, which were no longer observed in 2017, thus becoming a rock glacier.
Covering an area of 0.4 ha, the best preserved today is Central Marboré. Although it is classified as a helero, it is covered and shows clear signs of deterioration. Occidental preserves 0.1 ha in residual condition and covered with erosion material, while Oriental became extinct in 2022.
