Dear Mr. Shedrick, I found your site totally by chance, I was looking for information about Karlik Shan, for the simple reason that I think that it may be one of the best places in the northern hemisphery to put a telescope on top. Particularly in winter, it is a very dry place, very cold and very high, with a high pressure just over it. Imagine my surprise when I found another amateur astronomers having been there for a very different reason! But your picture surprised me. I wasn't expecting glaciers due to the dryness and I don't know what to think about it. Thank you for having made them anyhow. With my best regards, Stéphane Mandelert laure69@bluewin.ch Switzerland
