Biokovo je gorski masiv v obalnem delu Dinarskega gorstva na Hrvaškem. S podrobno morfografsko in morfometrično analizo najvišjega dela gorskega masiva smo določili obseg in značilnosti mlajše pleistocenske poledenitve. Izdelali smo rekonstrukcijo topografije ledenikov in izračunali višino njihove ravnovesne meje. Ugotovili smo, da stabila severovzhodno pod vrhom Sveti Jure dva krniška ledenika s skupno površino 1 km2, ravnovesna meja pa je bila na višini 1515 m.Biokovo massif is situated in the coastal part of the Dinaric Mountains in Croatia. Detailed morphographic and morphometric analysis of the highest parts of the massif were used to determine the extent and characteristics of Late Pleistocene glaciation. The reconstruction of glaciers and calculations of equilibrium line altitude (ELA) were carried out.Our research revealed that on the north-eastern side of the highest peak Sveti Jure two cirque glaciers with an overall area of 1 km2 were formed and their ELA was 1515 m a.s.l
