The Engiltschekkette reaches a maximum height of 5722 m in the Schokalskowo peak . The second highest mountain at 5697 m is Pik Nansen , which is named after Fridtjof Nansen . The Alexander von Humboldt peak, which was first climbed and named in 2003, is located around five kilometers west of the Nansen peak.
