Lenin glacier, Mountain glacier in Trans-Alai range, Kyrgyzstan
Lenin Glacier extends 13.5 kilometers in length and covers 58.1 square kilometers of area in the Trans-Alai mountain range of Kyrgyzstan.
The glacier received its name in connection to Lenin Peak, which was first climbed by a German-Russian expedition team in 1928.
Local mountaineers and scientists regularly monitor the glacier's conditions to assess climate impacts and water resource management for surrounding communities.
The glacier serves as a crucial water reservoir, supplying rivers and irrigation systems that support agricultural activities in the valleys during dry seasons.
The glacier contains deep crevasses that move between 3 and 40 centimeters per day, creating distinct patterns in the ice formation.
