The Sarydschaskette ( Kyrgyz Сарыжаз кырка тоо ; Russian Сарыджаз Sarydschas ) is a mountain range in the far east of Kyrgyzstan and in the extreme south-east of Kazakhstan .
The Saryjas chain branches off to the west from the main ridge of the Tienschan . Of the 110 km long glaciated mountain range runs east-west between the valley of the Sarydschas in the north and the Engiltschek in the south. In the western section the maximum height is 4799 m . The summit Pik Semjonow , named after the Russian geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semjonow-Tjan-Schanski , has a height of 5816 m and lies on the state border between Kyrgyzstan in the west and Kazakhstan in the east. In the far east, the ridge runs completely within Kazakhstan for a length of about 15 km. At the junction with the meridional chain at the eastern end of the mountain range is the 6146 m high Mramornaja Stena (also Pik Plato ). The highest peak in the actual mountain range is the 5841 m high Bayankol in Kazakhstan . The Mushketow and Semyonov glaciers stretch on the northern slope . The latter belongs to the headwaters of the Saryjas. The Northern Engiltschek Glacier runs along the southern flank . The Saryjas chain consists mainly of metamorphic mica schist , limestone and granite .
