Jengish Chokusu, Mountain summit at Tian Shan range, China and Kyrgyzstan.
Jengish Chokusu rises to 7,439 meters in elevation, making it the highest peak of the Tian Shan mountain system between Xinjiang and Issyk-Kul Region.
The first documented ascent occurred in 1956 by Vitaly Abalakov's team, following a tragic 1955 expedition that resulted in eleven casualties during a snowstorm.
The mountain bears different names across borders: Pik Pobedy in Russian territories and Tomur Feng on the Chinese side, reflecting regional linguistic diversity.
Climbers typically approach the summit through the Zvozdochka glacier, requiring advanced mountaineering skills and substantial cold weather equipment for the ascent.
This mountain stands as the most northern 7,000-meter peak on Earth, featuring the South Engilchek Glacier, which extends 60.5 kilometers along its northern face.
