A bar graph titled "Area of Three Glaciers in the 2016 Swiss Glacier Inventory". The y-axis is labeled "Area (square km)" and ranges from 0 to 50 in increments of 10. The x-axis contains bars for three glaciers, labeled "Gorner", "Fiescher", and "Unteraar". "Gorner" has an approximate value of 41, "Fiescher" has an approximate value of 30, "Unteraar" has an approximate value of 22.

To monitor changes to glaciers in Switzerland, the government periodically measures them for features like total area of ice and mean ice thickness, which are then reported in the Swiss Glacier Inventory. These measurements can be used to compare the glaciers. For example, the Gorner glacier had ______
