Sagarmatha National Park Central Himalaya Language English Country Poland systematics 911-032.24 Annotation Author (as a scientific participant of the first Czech-Slovak Expedition to the Mt. Everest in 1984) focuses on the glaciation of territory in the Sagarmatha National Park (the Central Himalayas, Nepal) from 30 years ago (Fig. 1 and Tab. 1) and compares it with the present. Despite of overhelming majority of the papers with news on the fastest retreat of the Mt. Everest´s glaciers it can be stated that obvious changes of the covering glaciers were not recorded in the Sagarmatha National Park (34.2 % of glatiation in the year of 1978 and 39.8 % in the year of 2009). In the present was recorded on 59 sections of 18 valley glaciers Nangpa, Melung, Lunag, Chhule, Sumna, Langmoche, Ngozumpa, Gyubanar, Lungsampa, Khumbu, Lobuche, Changri Shar, Imja, Nuptse, Lhotse Nup, Lhotse, Lhotse Shar and Ama Dablam their length retreat during 30 years at 5 sections in size from 267 m to 1804 m (the width retreat on 24 sections from 1 m to 224 m), as well as the growth of glacier on 7 sections from 12 m to 741 m (the width growth on 23 sections from 1 m to 198 m). More important than changes in length and/or width of valley glaciers are both in the present: the depletion of ice mass and an intensive growth of number of glacial lakes – small supraglacial pond formations as well as dam moraine lakes under snow-line (289 lakes as compared with 165 lakes in the year of 1978).
