Summary:The Eastern Karadeniz Mountains is one of the regions where the most important Pleistocene glacial activity exists in Anatolia. The highlands over 2500 meters in the Eastern Karadeniz Mountains, which have many peaks with the height of 3500 meters, contain important glacial activity. The glaciers and glacial land forms on the important peaks such as Kaçkar, Üçdoruk, (Verçenik), Dilek (Tatos), Göller (Hunut), Bulut-Altıparmak ve Demirkapı placed on the Eastren Karadeniz Mountains have been investigated due to their characteristics. There are important glaciations and glacial landforms across the south part of the Eastren Karadeniz Mountains as well. The regions located in the south of the Üçdoruk (3709) and Dilek mount, which are two important peaks of Eastern Karadeniz Mountains, (3550) are glaciation parts too. The glacial valleys and various glacial landforms and glacial lakes confirm us the activity of glaciations in this region
