The Agassizhorn is a mountain of the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. It lies just north-west of the Finsteraarhorn, the main summit of the range. The Agassizhorn is the tripoint between the valleys of the Lower Grindelwald Glacier, the Unteraar Glacier and the Fiescher Glacier. Because the Lower Grindelwald and Unteraar glaciers drain into the Aar and hence the Rhine and North Sea, whilst the Fiescher glacier drains into the Rhone and hence the Mediterranean Sea, the Sidelhorn lies on the European continental divide.[2]

[de] Agassizhorn
Das Agassizhorn (3947 m ü. M.) ist ein Berg in den Berner Alpen in der Verlängerung des Nordwestgrats des Finsteraarhorns, von dem es weniger als 1,5 Kilometer entfernt und durch das Agassizjoch (3747 m) getrennt ist. Der Berg ist nach dem Schweizer Naturforscher Louis Agassiz benannt.- [en] Agassizhorn

El Agassizhorn es una montaña de los Alpes de Berna en Suiza. Se encuentra justo al noroeste del Finsteraarhorn, la cumbre principal de la cordillera. El Agassizhorn es el punto triple entre los valles del glaciar Lower Grindelwald, el glaciar Unteraar y el glaciar Fiescher. Debido a que los glaciares de Lower Grindelwald y Unteraar drenan en el Aar y, por lo tanto, en el Rin y el Mar del Norte, mientras que el glaciar Fiescher drena en el Ródano y, por tanto, en el Mar Mediterráneo, el Sidelhorn se encuentra en la divisoria continental europea.[1][fr] Pic Agassiz
Le pic Agassiz (en allemand : Agassizhorn) est une montagne des Alpes bernoises, située 1,5 kilomètre au nord-ouest du Finsteraarhorn, dont il est séparé par l’Agassizjoch. Il doit son nom au géologue et zoologiste Louis Agassiz.[it] Agassizhorn
