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 .
1-481: Administratively, the summit is shared between the municipalities of Grindelwald , to the north-west, Guttannen , to the north-east, and Fieschertal , to the south. Grindelwald and Guttannen are in the canton of Bern , whilst Fieschertal is in the canton of Valais . The mountain was named after the Swiss geologist and explorer Louis Agassiz .
