Abstract

The paper presents main glaciological characteristics of present-day glaciers located on the Koryaksky volcano. The results of fieldwork (2008–2009) and high-resolution satellite image analysis let us to specify and complete information on modern glacial complex of Koryaksky volcano. Now there are seven glaciers with total area 8.36 km². Three of them advance, two are in stationary state and one degrades. Moreover, the paper describes the new crater glacier.
