The paper is devoted to the first complex research of ice glaciation in the frame work of a huge territory of the Siberia. Different types of underground cavities by the origin of the coldness and accumulation of snow and ice are considered; the morphological types of cave ice deposits are distinguished; the volumes of cave glaciation by the geographical regions are given. Taking into consideration the genesis of cave ice and the morphological peculiarities of cave ice deposits, a system of topographical signs for the presentation of cave glaciation on the maps is proposed. The assessment of ice cave degradation during the 30-year period of observations is displayed.
