Nalivkin Glacier

Nalivkin Glacier

Nalivkin Glacier.


One of the right tributaries of the largest glacier in Pamir, Fedchenko Glacier. It is located in the valley between the North Tanymas and Aral ridges. The main flow of the glacier is connected into one system with the North Tanymas Glacier through the ice divide.

The varying width of the Nalivkin Glacier flow at the right bank of the main trunk of the Fedchenko Glacier below the confluence indicates uneven ice supply. Its right tributaries — glaciers 25, 26, 28, 29, and 30 — extend into the main trunk in the form of "claws." However, currently, they do not have a significant dynamic impact on the main trunk of the Nalivkin Glacier; rather, they are influenced by its movement, resulting in the tongues of these tributaries being stretched along its right bank. Overall, from 1972 to 1991, the end of the Nalivkin Glacier has degraded and retreated, disappearing at the level of glacier 20 in 1972, 20-21 in 1977, and 21-22 in 1991 (KС).
