Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

  • The Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria) in the Last Ten Years
    STUDIA GEOMORPHOLOGICA CARPATHO-BALCANICA VOL. XLV, 2011: 47–68 PL ISSN 0081-6434 EMIL GACHEV (BLAGOEVGRAD) INTER-ANNUAL SIZE VARIATIONS OF SNEZHNIKA GLACIERET (THE PIRIN MOUNTAINS, BULGARIA) IN THE LAST TEN YEARS Abstract: Glacierets, which are in fact embryonic forms of recent glaciation, can serve as important indicators of contemporary climate dynamics in areas where classical glaciers do not exist, such as the high mountains in Southeastern Europe. Two glacierets are located in Bulgaria’s Pirin Mountains: Snezhnika and Banski Suhodol. Snezhnika has been relatively well studied for the last 50 years, and in particular since 1994, when annual size measurements on a regular basis started. The present study focuses on the recent variations in the size of Snezhnika i.e. in the last ten years. Data about the area of the glacieret at the end of the ablation season (in autumn), which was obtained for each year by field measurements and analytical calculations, show that temperature can be considered as a major factor that drives glacieret fluctuations. At the current stage precipitation factor can not be evaluated properly due to the deficit of accurate climate information. Key words: the Pirin Mountains, glacierets, size variation, climate change, climatic factors INTRODUCTION Although small in size and volume, in many mountain areas glacierets are natu- ral features of sufficient value for studies of the dynamics of environmental proc- esses, climatic variations and change. Glacierets are small bodies of perennial ice, which are smaller than glaciers but bigger and more persistent than snow patches. Glacierets are typified by a density of close-to-bottom ice of about 0.6 to 0.8 g cm–3, presence of annual layers in the vertical cross-section, and long- term persistence — decades to centuries (G r u n e w a l d et al.

The article presents results from the first detailed study of the rock glacier near Musala Peak in the Rila Mountains (Bulgaria), performed in 2016–2017. Situated at 2600–2670 m a.s.l. the rock glacier is among the highest in Bulgarian mountains. It is made of granitic blocks derived from the northern slope of Musala Peak (2925 m a.s.l.). This paper presents a hypothesis on the formation and development of the rock glacier, based on detailed geomorphological mapping and rock weathering rate tests. First results from Schmidt hammer testing of rock glaciers in Bulgaria are presented and discussed. The values obtained from 782 tests show increase in rock strength from the lower to the upper part of the block accumulation, which indicates their sequential deposition over time. The rock glacier was formed in the period after the retreat of Pleistocene glaciers and most likely before the Atlantic optimum of the Holocene. Geomorphic evidence indicates at least two stages of rock glacier development. Recently it has been considered relict. However, some activity during the Little Ice Age, and even at present, is not completely excluded. Keywords: rock glacier, Schmidt hammer, evolution, Musala Peak, Rila Mountains INTRODUCTION Rock glaciers are features typical for the high mountain environment of Bul- garian mountains Rila and Pirin.
