DOI 10.46698/VNC.2022.19.43.001
Abstract. Based on the analysis of multi-time aerial photographs and satellite images, data on the scale and rate of degradation of glaciers in the Zemegondon River basin (Central Caucasus, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania) for the period 1957–2021 are presented. The largest glaciers of the area No. 317 and 270 lost 0.57 km2 and 0.42 km2 of area (59.4% and 45.4%). The decrease in the area of glaciers No. 275, 276 and 278 on the slope of Mount Khalatsa was 64.9-71.5%. The scale of degradation of glacier No. 269 was minimal (35.3%) due to the impact of the 2008 rock avalanche of the ablation-resistant debris cover. Based on the new moraine ridge identified in the period 1975–2007, a conclusion was made about the surge of glacier No. 275 at a distance of about 240 m in 1995.
