Abstract. Summarizes the results of the summer expeditions 2024 of the student-teaching club "Portulan" and the Institute of Geography named after V.B. Gubkin. V.B.Sochava SB RAS to the Munku-Sardyk mountain area, which included field research of nival and glacial formations, river ice, slope relief forms and hazardous processes in the valleys of the Bely Irkut and Muguvek rivers: weather and temperature regime were traditionally monitored over the entire vertical relief span, thermochron readings were taken, the stone stream "Active" was surveyed, summer condition of Peretolchina and Radde glaciers and snowfields was assessed, water samples were taken to assess the share of glacier, ground and surface water inputs.

Keywords: Munku-Sardyk Ridge, ices, snowfields, nival-glacial formations, research works, weather observations, assessment of dangerous places on the route, water samples.

P. 224–242
