Abano Glacier, Alpine glacier in Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, Georgia.
The Abano Glacier extends 4.6 kilometers along Mount Kazbek's southeastern slope, covering 1.6 square kilometers of mountainous terrain at high altitude.
Throughout centuries, the glacier's meltwater has supplied the Terek River, a vital water source for communities across the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region.
Local Georgian communities recognize the glacier as აბანოს მყინვარი, incorporating it into regional folklore and traditional navigation methods.
Mountaineers access the glacier through established trails from Kazbegi District, requiring winter climbing equipment and experienced guides for safe exploration.
The glacier's maximum width reaches 610 meters, creating a natural ice formation that influences weather patterns in the surrounding Caucasus Mountains.
