Sauyr Zhotasy, Summit in Saur Mountains, China and Kazakhstan
The peak of Sauyr Zhotasy rises to 3,840 meters and contains multiple glaciers along its northern and eastern slopes in the Xinjiang region.
Since 2014, Sauyr Zhotasy has maintained its status as the highest unclimbed mountain peak globally, with numerous expeditions facing border control restrictions.
The name Mustau comes from Kazakh language roots, reflecting the mountain's connection to ice formations and its significance to regional communities.
Access to the mountain requires extensive preparation, permits from authorities, and consideration of weather patterns that can shift rapidly at higher elevations.
The mountain serves as a natural boundary between China and Kazakhstan, with its summit positioned 600 meters east of the border in Chinese territory.
