Abstract

It is presented the results of studying of small glaciers located in the Eastern Siberia along transect the Kodar mountains – Baikalskiy and Barguzinskiy ridges – the Eastern Sayan mountains. Some glaciers from this transect have not been described before. The inventorying of these glaciers is based on high-resolution satellite images and fieldworks. The most numbers of glaciers are located in the Kodar mountains and few are in the Baikalskiy and the Barguzinskiy ridges. Most likely, these glaciers remained mainly due to coldest winters and geomorphologic features. The main parameters of a glacier’s data (the dynamics, the current state, cartographic representation, remote sensing data and others) are selected by analogy of the international glaciological database.
