Kok-Kiya River.
Trip from Kok-Kiya River to Lake Kel-Suu.
“To the west, this ridge becomes lower and already represents a smooth, straight ridge; from the gap between the main peaks of the Zaaksai ridge, a crack was black, the steep cliffs of its rear edge, rising above the front edge, were visible; the Kok-Kiya River flows into Aksai through this crack, giving its name to the ridge. The Kok-Kiya River flows out about thirty-five versts from its mouth from a high mountain lake, which, judging by the fall of the river, must be considered to be 12,500 feet or more likely 11,000 feet above sea level.”
