Aksu Valley is a northwest trending U-shaped valley with a cirque glacier nearly 400 m long. Lateral and terminal moraines together with young ablation moraines and sandur plains indicate three glacial epochs. The oldest and most extensive one is characterized by two well preserved 100 m high lateral moraines at altitudes 2800-2200 m. The next glacial epoch is represented by few lateral moraines and a vast sandur plain containing large andesitic blocks up to 4 m in diameter. The ablation moraines at 3300 m belong to the youngest glacial epoch and are in direct contact with the dead ice detached from the modern glacier.Read More
