A small cirque glacier is present in a north-east facing cirque on the mountain of 5ljeme (2455 m a.s.l.) in the Durmitor massif, Montenegro. Sediment ridges in front of this glacier are interpreted as moraines and can be attributed to recent glacier activity over the past 130 years. Lichenometry was applied to determine the relative ages of different moraines using Aspicilia calcarea agg. One set of moraines dates from about 1878 AD, whilst another set of inner moraines dates from about 1904 AD. The most recent moraines appear to have formed within the last 11 years in front of an active glacier margin.

“…At their maximum extent (around the Last Glacial Maximum), glaciers in the Rila Mountains covered about 430 km 2 (Kuhlemann et al 2013), which was confirmed by the dating of several moraines with cosmogenic nuclides ( 10 Be). Both in Rila and Pirin Mountains, ELA of the maximum glaciation was at about 2150-2300 m a. s. l. (Louis 1930;Georgiev 1991), and glaciers up to several km long descended down the main valleys. The longest glaciers, Beli Iskar in Rila (22 km) and Demianitsa-Bunderitsa in Pirin (11 km) flew down to the north.…”

“…In Bulgaria, the presence of classical relict traces of Pleistocene glaciers has been documented in the two highest mountains of the Rhodope Massif: Rila (2925 m a. s. l.) and Pirin (2914 m a. s. l.), and embryonic glacial landforms have also been described in Stara Planina (2376 m a. s. l.), Osogovo (2252 m a. s. l.) and Vitosha (2290 m a. s. l.) (Cvijić 1897(Cvijić , 1908Janković 1903Janković , 1908Louis 1930;Glovnia 1958Glovnia , 1962Glovnia , 1968Velchev 1995Velchev , 1999Velchev et al 1994, 2000 andothers).…”

Holocene glaciation in the mountains of Bulgaria

This study presents a review on Holocene glacial traces in Bulgaria. Pleistocene glaciation in this territory was spread over a number of mountains above 2000 m a. s. l., while in the later time, it was restricted only to the highest areas of the two highest mountains, Pirin and Rila. Two major phases can be distinguished on the basis of field evidence-a Little Ice Age (LIA) phase, and a present-day phase. Features of present-day glaciation are only found in the Pirin Mountains, in the highest parts of Northern Pirin which are built of carbonate rocks (marble). The two glacierets in these mountains, which are now the southernmost glacial masses in Europe, occupy only c. 1.5 ha. Several permanent snow patches are also found to fill the bottoms of high altitude karst dolines in the same area, contributing to a total of 3.5 ha of firn and ice, which have not completely melted for several centuries. The post-LIA climatic warming, which has progressed with an increased pace for the last 3 decades, reduced the glaciated area in the highest mountains of Bulgaria by 58%. However, glacierets and snow patches in Bulgaria have appeared to be more stable when compared to most other locations with similar topographic setting in Southeastern Europe.
