Abstract
The Tatra Mountains (2654 m a.s.l.) are a pronounced culmination of the Western Carpathians, constituting a topographic barrier to the prevailing westerly air circulation. The massif was strongly shaped by Pleistocene glaciers. During the Last Glacial Maximum, it was covered by 55 cirque and valley glaciers with a total area of 280 km2. There are no present-day glaciers or active rock glaciers in the massif. The history of glaciation research began in 1856 with the earliest description of the Ice Age legacy in the mountains of Central and Eastern Europe by Ludwik Zejszner. Since then, much effort has gone into describing, mapping, and dating traces of Pleistocene glaciers. In the last two decades the use of cosmogenic exposure age dating together with the glacier-climate modelling has given a significant advance in understanding the evolution of the Tatra glacial landscape.
