he present article makes a revision of the recent studies related to Bulgarian glacierets, all located in the northern part of the Pirin Mountains, as well as presents some latest results from field measurements of firn size and morphology descriptions. This has been the first scientific study of Banski suhodol glacieret, which at present is the largest in Bulgaria. Data gained until now indicates differences between the Pirin and the High Tatras concerning the driving factors of glacieret inter-annual dynamics, as for Bulgarian glacierets air temperature appears to be one of the most sufficient controls.
