Abstract

The glaciers in the Mt. Sagarmatha (Everest) region can be classified into two types, namely, “debris-covered type glacier” and debris-free “clean type glacier”. The sizes of the former type are large, the latter small. The difference of elevation between the present terminus of the clean type glaciers and the most recent terminal moraine in the Gyajo area was 300400 m.
