Korzhenevsky Glacier, Mountain glacier in Trans-Ili Alatau, Kazakhstan

The Korzhenevsky Glacier extends over 11 kilometers through the Almaty mountains, reaching elevations between 2500 and 4000 meters above sea level.

Named after Nikolai Korzhenevsky, this glacier has served as a research site for scientists studying glacial movements and climate patterns in Central Asia.

The glacier holds significance for local mountain communities who have developed traditions and practices adapted to the high-altitude environment.

Visitors must complete a three-day acclimatization period at 2200-meter elevation hotels before attempting to explore the higher regions of the glacier.

The glacier creates specific conditions that support specialized plant and animal species adapted to the extreme temperatures and altitude variations.
