  ABSTRACT: This study provides a map of glacial geomorphology of Mt. Asralt Khairkhan and Mt. Baga Khentii Saridag in Khentii Mountain Range in northeastern Mongolia. In the Khentii Mountain Range, only two types of glacial landforms including glacial cirques and terminal moraines are observed for the paleoglacial reconstructions of Mt. Asralt Khairkhan and Mt. Baga Khentii Saridag, and are mapped based on a mapping from 30 m resolution ASTER DEM and Landsat 8 satellite imagery. Spatial distribution of the glacial landforms indicates that the Khentii Mountain Range has experienced valley glaciations with small ice caps centered on the high mountains. The glacial cirques mark numerous glacial erosional landforms, while the terminal moraines indicate glacial advances and depositional landforms at outlets of valleys. Outer limits of these glacial landforms show their maximum glaciation of 10.0 km2 and 0.7 km2 for Mt. Asralt Khairkhan and Mt. Baga Khentii Saridag, respectively. This study demonstrates that spatial analysis of the glacial landforms is crucial for reviewing the paleoglacier extent. The map of the glacial geomorphology will be a key for further detailed studies in paleoglaciology and paleoclimate of the mountain range.
