On this Day

This little settlement sits on the Murghab River at an elevation of 3,650 meters. In 1890, Younghusband described it as "a dreary, desolate spot with a certain amount of grassy pasture and a few scrubby bushes by the river, but surrounded by barren hills and bitterly cold." "How these Russian soldiers can sustain existence there is a marvel shut up in dreary quarters, with nothing to do - week after week, month after month passing in dull monotony" Over a century later, little has changed. We anticipate landing in Murghab around lunchtime. Murghab (3670 m) has few attractions, but it will serve as our one-night home base while we explore the surrounding area. Muztag Ata, a 7546-meter-high Chinese peak, is visible 110 kilometers northeast of town in a direct line.
