Nature of Tajikistan.

South of the Zeravshan Range, parallel to the Sorbog River, the Karategin Range extends. It does not have a clear center line and is repeatedly cut by the deep valleys of the right tributaries of the Surkhob - Vakhsh river. The northern slopes of this ridge are almost entirely covered by glaciers; on the southern slope of the ridge there are much less glaciers. In total, there are 166 glaciers on the Karategin ridge with a total area of ​​59.4 sq. km.
The size of all glaciers is less than 3 sq. km. 
8 glaciers with a total area of ​​1.0 sq. km. are in the Kabudkrym mountains south of the Karategin ridge (Rototaev. 1979; Shchetinnikov. 1981. Catalog of glaciers. 1969-1982).
