It is presented the results of studying of small glaciers located in the Eastern Siberia along transect the Kodar mountains -Baikalskiy and Barguzinskiy ridgesthe Eastern Sayan mountains. Some glaciers from this transect have not been described before. The inventorying of these glaciers is based on high-resolution satellite images and fieldworks. The most numbers of glaciers are located in the Kodar mountains and few are in the Baikalskiy and the Barguzinskiy ridges. Most likely, these glaciers remained mainly due to coldest winters and geomorphologic features. The main parameters of a glacier's data (the dynamics, the current state, cartographic representation, remote sensing data and others) are selected by analogy of the international glaciological database.

“…Sutai, Tsambagarav, and Munkhkhairkhan. D. Otgonbayar calculated a total of 24 glaciers covering 48.13 km 2 in 1970, and again in 2008 when 17 glaciers covered 26.57 km 2 [13,15]. Additionally, Kamp and Pan independently estimated 27.4 km 2 glacial area in 2011.…”

“…By the estimation of Otgonbayar. D, 24 glaciers together had an area of 48.13 km 2 in 1970, and in 2008, 17 glaciers covering 26.57 km 2 remained [13,15]. This shows that between 1970 and 2008, seven glaciers completely melted.…”

The mountain range is 3500-4300 m a.s.l, about 150 km long and 50 km wide, and borders the mountain ranges of the Munkhkhairkhan soum (a ''sum" is an administrative unit) of Khovd Province and the Bulgan soum of Bayan-Ulgii Province (Figure 1).…”

Mt. Munkhkhairkhan is the most crucial region for understanding climate and glaciation changes in Mongolia. This study investigated the relationship between glacial area changes and the climate elements of Mt. Munkhkhairkhan in the Mongolian-Altai Mountains using a remote sensing approach, in-situ observations, the Mann–Kendall (MK) test, Innovative Trend Analysis Method (ITAM), Sen’s slope estimator test, and statistical analysis. The study results showed that for the last 30 years, the annual average air temperature of Mt. Munkhkhairkhan has been slightly increasing. Total annual precipitation (mainly snow) in the mountain area decreased from 1990 to 2000, but since 2000, a significant increase in precipitation levels has appeared. For the last 30 years, the glacial area has decreased by 32% to 11.7 km2. Multiple regression results showed a strong correlation between Temperature, Precipitation, and Glaciers (Multiple R = 0.69, R2 = 0.48). Ruther indicated that Temperature (t = −2.332, p = 0.036) and Precipitation (t = −3.212, p = 0.007) were significant predictors in the model. Air temperature and precipitation explained 48 percent of the change in the glacier area, and R = 0.69 is a strong correlation. The glaciers and snow area in the study area have changed due to climate warming and precipitation changes and are located in arid and semi-arid regions of Central Asia. This study of Mt. Munkhairkhan shows that climate change significantly impacts glaciers and snow.
