Academy of Sciences Range

Academy of Sciences Range (Russian: Хребет Академии Наук, Khrebet Akademiy Nauk; Tajik: Qatorkuhi Akademiyai Fanho) is a mountain range in the Western Pamirs of Tajikistan.

It is stretched in a north-south direction and considered to be the core of the Pamir mountain system.

The lowest saddle point, Kamaloyak (Камалояк), is at the altitude of 4,340 m (14,240 ft).

The range is formed with sedimentary and metamorphic rocks of the Paleozoic Era and partially granites.

It is covered with permanent snow, which feeds a large number of big glaciers.
