Peak Ismail Somoni (ex-Communism, 7495m), which sometimes is erroneously
referred to Peak Garmo, towers over the joint of two mountain
ranges, Peter the First Ridge (latitudinal) and Academy of Sciences Ridge
(meridional), on the North-West Pamir. This was the former USSR highest peak,
its neighbour, Peak Korjenevskoy (7105m) standing in 12km to the North
from Peak Somoni, took the 4th place.
Three glaciers, Fortambek, Moskvina and Valter flow down from the North slope of the Peak Somoni. The Base Camp (4100 m) is installed on a grassy glade, Moskvina Meadow, between Valter and Moskvina glaciers. From here a number of routes leads to Peak Somoni, Peak Korjenevskoy and to other summits of the region. Here exists, as well, one of marvels of the nature, the Great Pamir Snow Plateau, – a flat glacier surface of 12x3 sq.km elevated up to more than 6000-meter altitude.
Before to get start to the Peak Somoni, climbers make acclimatization ascents of lesser mountains, Peaks Vorobiova (5691m), Chetyrekh (6299m, the name means Peak of Four) and Korjenevskoy (7105m). From their summits picturesque views of the great mountain node are opened from various points.
