Pamir-Alay, Mountain system between Tian Shan and Pamir ranges in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

The Pamir-Alay stretches 900 kilometers from east to west, reaching heights of 5,621 meters at Pik Skalisty in the Turkestan Range.

The mountain range formed during the Paleozoic era through Hercynian orogeny, with subsequent uplift during Alpine tectonic movements in the Neogene period.

Multiple ethnic groups maintain traditional practices of seasonal migration and livestock herding across the mountain slopes and valleys.

The mountain system contains four main ranges: Turkestan, Alay, Zarafshan with Fann Mountains, and Gissar including the Köýtendag Range.

The mountain range experiences continuous geological activity with current uplift rates of 10 to 14 millimeters per year.

GPS coordinates: 39.60000,70.68000
