The
region comprises a group of ranges with more then 50 mountains over
6000 metres. The biggest is the Academi Nauk Range, which is approached
from the north-west by Peter the Great Range. At the meeting place
of the two is the Pamir's highest mountain, Peak Ismoili Somoni (Communizma)
7495ms. Further to the north, in the Academi Nauk Range, is the mountain
Peak Evgenia Korjenevskaya (7105ms). These two giants overlook a large
moraine, Moskvina Glade (4200ms), with a finy lake and a spectacular
view of the surrounding mountains. The place is encircled by three
glaciers, Walter, traube and Moskvina, and used as the startng point
to both summits, Ice-climbing enthusiasts will find there good seracs
for practice. Mt. Peak Lenina was explored in 1871 by a Russian geographer
Alexei Fedchenko. He named the mountain for Russia 's Governor of
the day, Kaufman. In 1928 the mountain was given the name, Peak Lenina.
The northern slopes, when covered with a sufficient amount of snow,
are good for skiing. Ski descent from the summit falls under the category
of skiextreme and is not included in this catalogue. However, it may
also be organised on request. In the latter case, please contact us
