Lekhziri Glacier, Valley glacier in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Georgia.

The Lekhziri Glacier extends over 33.4 square kilometers on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range, consisting of three separate ice formations.

Scientific observations of the glacier began in the early 18th century when researchers started documenting the glacial formations present in the Georgian mountain ranges.

The glacier contributes to local knowledge of climate patterns and natural resource management, supporting research initiatives by Georgian glaciologists and environmental scientists.

Summer and autumn provide the most suitable conditions for visiting the glacier, with access points located at an elevation of 1,950 meters above sea level.

Three distinct ice streams converge at a central point where the glacier surface becomes covered with natural deposits of morainal sediments and rock debris.
