On the basis of empirical findings and inductive conclusions, the least extent of glaciation during the last ice age can be shown for 2 areas on the southern slopes of the Himalayas in Nepal. For the Rolwaling Himal, the snow line during the last
ice age is calculated at 4000 m asl., i.e., 1500 m below the recent snow line. The last high-glacial snow line in the Kangchenjunga Himal is thought to be at 4350 m asl., the snow line depression here is 1150 m.
The history of the landscape of the Haramosh valley is linked with the former glaciation history of the Indus Valley. The extent of the former glaciers Mani, Baska and Phuparash according to their glacio-geomorphic position, their snow line

be carried out. Youngest historical to neoglacial ice margin positions could be recorded. Their mapping took place in a downward direction from the modern glacier margins. They confirm snow line (ELA) depressions from decameters up to ca. 100-250 m
