this soviet topo shows the former afcnsu
which is now afcntj
20 meters lower than & several hundred meters away
from the peak of mt povalo shveikovski
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu:8085/tajikistan/100k/10-43-102.jpg

but all 3 treaties specify the summit itself & far
different elevations
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS089.pdf
page 4
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS026.pdf
pages 12 & 16
including an apparent mention of a marker
&
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS064.pdf
page 16

the variety in the elevations of up to 175 meters is
not so disturbing as the apparently even greater
displacement from the known summit point

but what is the truth here
& why all this discrepancy

& how far can we trust these soviet maps anyway
oops
