Khan Tengri (highest point in Kazakhstan)

Khan Tengri (highest point in Kazakhstan)
Ak-Su, Kyrgyzstan (KG)
This is a mountain of the Tian Shan mountain range. It's on the China—Kyrgyzstan—Kazakhstan tripoint, E of lake Issyk Kul. Its geologic elevation is 6,995 m, but its glacial icecap rises to 7,010 m. For this reason, in mountaineering circles, including for the Soviet Snow Leopard award criteria, it's considered a 7,000-m peak.

It's the 2nd-highest mountain in the Tian Shan, surpassed only by Jengish Chokusu. Khan Tengri is the highest point in Kazakhstan and 3rd-highest peak in Kyrgyzstan. It's also the world's northernmost 7,000-m peak
