First glance at Belukha from Ioldo-Ayry Glacier | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
As we recross the main crest of Katun'skie Belki Range from the Kazakhstani side, the distant summit of the Top of Siberia comes into view for the first time.
Ioldo-Ayry I pass. Day 8 of our March 1988 Altay mountains ski backpack.

Voted 10/10 | you liked, doesn't it? Actually, if I had a choice between the two, I'd opt for the Altay as I find it hard to live without the forest - towards the end of my 3-month stay in Spitsbergen I missed the sight of a tree so much:-) | | Posted Oct 29, 2008 7:04 am |

Hasn't voted | Shield glacier stuff? Well if you go to Eastern or Southern Altay, there may be no trees either. Just desert and ice! | | Posted Oct 30, 2008 9:17 am |
