Based on the research and analysis of numerous publications about the Genaldon disaster, the authors propose an ingenious, scientifically grounded approach to understanding the nature of the process. It is shown that the mechanism of displacement of large ice-waterrock (moraine-ice) masses has a complicated pattern and represents an ultramudflow displacement. Initially, several mechanisms were implemented in the process: 1) impact; 2) vibration and 3) water hammer. At the beginning, this led to the breakaway of the glacier, its movement, disintegration, and then the gliding mechanism turned on and caused stretching of the moving mass, its rocking and powerful blows against the sides of the valley in the Karmadon Gorge, then its compaction, squeezing and stopping at the Karmadon Gate. Below is the zone of low-power water-soil mass accumulation.
