Located in the Circo de la Esclusera, facing southeast, the Brecha Latour Glacier developed during the Little Ice Age. It reached an area of 10 hectares, although its tongue was limited to a length of 340 metres.
In the 1982-1985 inventory, it was classified as a glacier. The ice reached the frontal moraine, suggesting that it had barely receded during the previous 130 years. In the early 1990s, it still showed some activity, but shortly afterwards it turned into a helleura. From 2000 onwards, a process of progressive fragmentation began, until in 2007 it evolved into a residual state, becoming extinct in 2012.
In subsequent years, no snowfield has withstood the passage of summers at the former location of the glacier, where only the frontal moraine and rock polished by the former abrasion of the ice remain as vestiges of its recent existence.
