Abstract. The article characterizes glacial landforms of the mountain terrain in the area of Chersky Peak on the Khamar-Daban with linkage to similar formations of the Munku-Sardyk mountain massif. In the area of Khamar-Daban a similar Khamar-Daban glacier of the same age as the Oka cover glacier was identified, which in the subsequent history of glaciation first split into two mountain-valley glaciers (the Northern and the Central) and then into even smaller cover-valley-rock glaciers (the Central into Utulik-Snezhninsky, and the Northern into Tumusunsky, Bystrinsky and Chersky). In the Chersky Glacier localization area, after field studies in 2024, four average levels of kars and troughs of the retreating stage of this glacier's evolution were identified and described.

Keywords: Khamar-Daban Ridge, Chersky Peak, mountain-valley glaciation, glaciation stages, oscillations, glacial morphosculptures, kars, localized cow-trog glaciers
