Mayli, Glacier in North Ossetia–Alania, Russia
The Mayli Glacier extends across 6.8 square kilometers within the Genaldon River basin, near Mount Kazbek in the Caucasus Mountains.
In 2002, the adjacent Kolka Glacier experienced a catastrophic collapse, sending 100 million cubic meters of ice through the Karmadon Valley.
The glacier holds significance for North Ossetian communities who rely on its meltwater resources and incorporate its presence into regional traditions.
Researchers monitor the glacier's movements and conditions through satellite imagery and ground observations to assess potential risks to nearby settlements.
The glacier's position near the surge-prone Kolka Glacier creates a complex system that scientists study to understand glacial dynamics and climate effects.
