Photos From the Kazibek Recon and the Road to Torugart

Figure B5. Narin. We stopped in Narin for the night and replace the sensor in the vault. This is Kuban Bek, the operator at Narin, and his family.

Figure B8. Kazibek. A view from the "preferred" station location, looking north into the At Bashi valley and a small farmhouse. We are standing on a small outcrop near the house.

Figure B9. Kazibek. View to the southeast, taken from the same spot as B8, with the At Bashi range in the background. Previously, I had thought to put the station in the canyon in the center of this photo, but it appeared quite crowded this day, and security might be a problem.

Figure B10. Tash Abat. Tash Abat is a long, north-south canyon located south of the southwestern end of teh At Bashi range. There is a road the takes you some 15 km into this canyon, and at the end is a mausoleum dating from the 9th century. Sorry, but this is all the information I could find out about this (no one we spoke with knew anything more about it). Following are a series of pictures of this remarkable structure. This is the entrance.

Figure B13. Tash Abat. The cupola at the top of the mausoleum.

Figure B14. Tash Abat. View of the mausoleum, looking to the northwest.

Figure B16. Tash Abat. View from the mausoleum, looking to the southeast. There is a family that farms here, who live in the white house. We spent the night in the yurt on the right.

Figure B17. Tash Abat. View from the mausoleum, looking to the southeast. Note the pinnacles at the top of the mountain.

Figure B18. Tash Abat. Nick doing his dinner magic.

Figure B19. Tash Abat. One last view of the mausoleum, woefully underexposed (sorry).
