Krasavitsa Peak (3764m) and Zelinsky Clacier, Altay
Krasavitsa, Russian for Beautiful Maiden, is the highest peak in the Shavla Lakes area of North Chuyskie Belki Range of Altay Mountains. Still a far cry for the numerous 4000'ers further East, but the relative elevation over the deep depression of the lakes makes a stunning sight.
February 1985 Chuya-to-Katun' ski crossing of Altay.
