Gizeldon

The Gizeldon (Russian: Гизельдон or Гизель-Дон; Ossetian: Джызæлдон, Džyzældon), is a river in North Ossetia–Alania just west of Vladikavkaz.

It drains the northern slopes and glaciers of Mount Kazbek north to the Terek.

[1] A valley with many cliffs and a 4000-metre peak,[2] the area is prone to avalanches; 30 were reported in 1967–1968.

[3] The terrain is described as having "craggy, gashed terrain", with cattle breeding, lumbering, and lead-zinc mining being the principal economic pursuits of the people of the Gizeldon valley.
