Abstract. On the basis of field studies the relief, geomorphological features, distinctive features of palaeoglaciers and palaeosnowfields of the northern slope of the Munku-Sardyk mountain massif within the upper parts of the basins of the Bely Irkut, Sredny Irkut, Mugovek and Zhokhoy rivers, where there are signs of development of more than fifty palaeoglaciers of different altitudinal-age levels and about a dozen palaeosnowfields.

Keywords: Munku-Sardyk mountain massif, geomorphology of palaeoglaciers and palaeosnowfields.

P. 182–196
