Keywords:Tyendall Glacier, debris landform, GPR

The Tyndall Glacier on Mt Kenya retreated 300 m during 1919-1994 (Mizuno, 1995). The recessional speeds are 2.9 m/yr during 1958-1984, and 2.9 m/yr during 1984-1992. The debris landform including boulders and buried ice formed at glacier fornt during glacier recession. We invesitigated debris landform at glacier fornt using ground penetrating radar (GPR).
