Abstract

Abstract. The paper presents geomorphological evidences of former appearances of huge lakes in Mongolia and in the south of Siberia visible on satellite images. Most of lakes in Mongolia and transboundary Russia are terminal basins collecting waters from catchments of large rivers draining the Altai, Khangai and Khentey Mountains, while in the south of Siberia such lakes had no sizeable sources for water input. The discussing reasons for these rises are obviously climatic with possible high influence of deglaciation processes in the surrounding mountains.
