the Mongolian part of the Altai Mountains (49°09?N, 87°55?E). The Potanin Glacier flows eastwards from near the summit of Mt. Khuiten (4374 m a.s.l.), which is the highest peak in the Altai Mountains, to a valley in Mongolian Altai. The Potanin Glacier is 10.4 km in length, and it is approximately 1.5 km wide in the ablation area and 5 km wide in the accumulation area; the altitude of the glacier ranges from 4374 to 2900 m a.s.l., and it’s area was observed to be about 24.34 km2 in 2003. The average surface inclination of the Potanin Glacier is 8.0° and the maximum thickness is 229 m (Kadota et al.,2011). The nearest climate station in Mongolia is Ulgii (1730 m a.s.l.; World Meteorological Organization (WMO) station number 442140), which is located 155 km to the east (48°97?N, 89°97?E) of the Potanin Glacier (Konya et al. 2014).
