Pamir jeep safari tour of Tajikistan.

In the middle course, the Sugran glacier takes two large tributaries on the left - the Perevalny and Vilka glaciers. These active steep glaciers are located in the Sangvor region of Tajikistan in the southern spurs of the Peter the Great Mountain Range and belong to the Muksu River Basin.
These glaciers, connected with the Sugran glacier, push its flow to the right side and are far traced downstream, bordered by middle moraines. Over the past decade, these glaciers have been actively advancing. From 1972 to 1977, the front of the Vilka Glacier advanced 0.6 km downstream of the Sugran Glacier, and another 1.2 kilometers by 1980.
The advance of the Perevalniy glacier was less significant. These advances increasingly block the Sugran glacier and violate its regimeю
