Abstract. We summarize the results of the 2022 expeditions of the student-teaching club "Portulan" to the Munku-Sardyk mountain area, which included field scientific research of nival-glacial formations, river and near-slope aufeis, slope forms of relief and processes forming them in the valleys of the Bely Irkut, Muguvek, Bugovek rivers: regime surveys of high-mountainous aufeis, as well as traditionally conducted monitoring of weather and temperature regime over the entire vertical extent of the relief, study of the stone stream "Active" and summer condition of glaciers, aufeis and snowfields.

Keywords: Munku-Sardyk Ridge, aufeis, snowfields, nival-glacial formations, research work of students, regime observations of aufeis, weather.

P. 131–148
