Sarlyk, Mountain summit in Altai Republic, Russia
The Sarlyk peak rises to an elevation of 2507.5 meters, marking the highest point of the Seminsky mountain range in southwestern Siberia.
Soviet military forces established an air defense base at the mountain's foundation, which now stands as abandoned concrete structures near the hiking path.
The name Sarlyk originates from the Altai language, referring to wild yaks that traditionally inhabited the mountain slopes of this region.
Visitors can reach Sarlyk by following a 277-kilometer route from Biysk city, with the final 7 kilometers requiring a hike to the summit.
The mountain's position across air mass movements creates winter winds exceeding 30 meters per second, causing specific snow accumulation patterns.
