vulnerability of recreational territories of Kabardino-Balkaria to influences of natural disasters is investigated. Systemized data of types and degree of glacial danger on the territory are presented. The regularities of the manifestation of glacial slopes are investigated. The dynamics of the development of the preglacial lakes is revealed. Objects exposed to snow avalanches and mudflows are identified. The volume of avalanches in the territory of the republic varies from 100 m3 to 106 m3.

In this paper, a glacial mudflow hazardous lake, Bashkara, is described. Its depth is 32 m and volume exceeds 494400 m 3 . Quite intensive deformations and destructive processes at the end of Bashkara glacier are noted. The lake debacle probability is consistently growing. A new way to prevent the glacial mudflow that can be caused by the lake debacle is proposed. This way supposes conducting of the uncontrolled lake discharging by digging, filling of the lake with moraine materials, formatting of the lake surrounding dam, and making a drainage outlet in this dam.
