Глацијална језера Буни и Језерце – Албанија
Glacial lakes Buni and Jezerce: Albania

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents glacial lakes and glacial relief forms at the foothill of the peak Maja Јezerces in Mt. Prokletije in Albania, near the border with Montenegro. The group of lakes Buni and Jezerce, which consists of six lakes and which genetically belongs to glacial-erosional lakes, is analyzed. Lakes are situated at the cirque bottom, between the moraines and limestone ridges. Except presented morphometric characteristics of lake basins, data about cirque are given, as well as the reconstruction of the glacier which was formed here. Recent erosion processes are intensive in this area and have considerably changed post-Pleistocene morphology of the lake, as well as the cirque bottom.
