Lekhziri Glacier is a valley glacier on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus range in the Svaneti region of Georgia, about 11.5 kilometers long with a surface area of roughly 33.4 square kilometers. Its tongue descends to about 1,950 meters above sea level, and the glacier is made up of three branches, the North, East and West Lekhziri, fed by ice flows and avalanches from the surrounding mountains; below the point where the three branches meet, the glacier's surface becomes largely covered with morainal sediment and debris.
