In the same way strongly glaciated was the in excess of
50 km wide high mountain area of the Kungey Alatau
connected north of Issyk Kul and stretching as far as the
mountain foreland near Alma Ata. The Kungey Alatau
is 230 km long. Down from the Kungey Alatau the
glacial glaciers also calved into the Issyk Kul lake.Its
Chon-Kemin valley was glaciated up to its inow into
the Chu valley.* [4]* [5]* [6] From the west-elongation of

Altogether the glacial Tian Shan glaciation occupied an
area of c. 118 000 km .The glacier snowline (ELA) as
altitude limit between glacier feeding area and melting
zone had decreased about 1200 altitude metres compared
with today. Under the condition of a comparable precipitation ratio there would result from this a depression of
the average annual temperature of 7.2 to 8.4 C for the
Wrm-ice age (Last Glacial period = MIS 2) compared
with today. * [10]
