“…This moraine was overlooked in some other studies (Butvilovsky, 1993;Lehmkuhl et al, 2004;Okishev, 2011) as it was significantly eroded during the emptying of Pleistocene ice-dammed lakes (e.g. Herget, 2005).…”

Nevertheless, the ages apply to a single complicated glacial system, one for which equilibrium-line altitudes could not be estimated, that appeared to Gribenski et al (2016) to be subject to surging, and that on occasion terminated in an ephemeral giant lake.…”

“…This mountain system and the adjacent Uvs Nuur Basin have been the focus of Mongolian-German joint expeditions from 1995 to 1998. There are existing publications on the extent of Pleistocene glaciations (Lehmkuhl, 1998;Lehmkuhl et al, 2004Lehmkuhl et al, , 2011, rock glaciers , the different geomorphologic processes within the altitudinal belts (Lehmkuhl, 1999), and the larch forests (Larix sibirica; Sommer and Treter, 1999). Khrutshy and Golubeva (2008) recently discussed the dynamics of glaciers in the Turgen-Kharkhiraa Mountain range.…”

The mountains systems of Central Asia are primary targets to study late Pleistocene climate evolution given their location at the crossroads of several atmospheric circulation systems. The timing of glacier extent during this period remains understudied, especially in the Altai Mountains. Here, we have reconstructed glacier extent during three main Late Pleistocene stadials in the upper Kalguty basin (south‐eastern Russian Altai) based on field‐based geomorphic analysis. Additionally, surface exposure dating with 10Be and 26Al at a key site was used to infer a minimum‐limiting age for the outermost well‐preserved Pleistocene frontal moraine system and to date the inception of glacier withdrawal. According to our data, around 20.6 ± 1.8 ka Kalguty Glacier was still 200 m thick at the key site, 10 km upstream of the outermost moraine, and the site was totally deglaciated shortly after 20.4 ± 0.4 ka. These results point to a rapid retreat of this low‐gradient valley glacier after its probably MIS 2 maximum which was prior to 21 ka and probably prior to 22.5 ka. Two other glacier stages have been identified upvalley, characterized by a depression of the equilibrium‐line altitude of 420 and 314 m with respect to the Little Ice Age, thus corresponding to Lateglacial advances. Our glacier reconstruction further provides a geomorphological and geochronological background to put into context archaeological findings in this area.
