Engilchek Glacier

Engilchek Glacier is a glacier in the Central Tian Shan Mountains of the Issyk-Kul Region in northeastern Kyrgyzstan, with its snout about 50 kilometres east of the village of Engilchek. Its South Engilchek arm ranks as the sixth-longest non-polar glacier in the world and is the largest and fastest-moving glacier in Kyrgyzstan, giving the combined glacier an overall length of about 60.5 kilometres; it descends from the massif of Khan Tengri and Pik Pobedy, and its meltwater feeds the Engilchek River as well as the seasonal glacial Lake Merzbacher, source of frequent glacial lake outburst floods.
