Orography of the Upper Reaches of the Uzun-Kargaly River Basin

(Jasil-kul Glacier) The Jasil-kul glacier is located in the western part of the Zailiyskiy Alatau ridge, in the upper reaches of the Uzun-Kargaly river. Its length is about two kilometers, and it is oriented from north to south. At the glacier tongue:

• a long lake stretches across the moraine,
• the glacier tongue descends steeply towards the lake. In the depths of the cirque, the "Uzlovaya" peak rises, from which the Tasso-Kemin ridge extends southwest. In 1940-1941, alpinists from Kyrgyzstan first visited this area and summited several peaks:
• Tumannaya
• Aszhaluu
• Druzhby
