Zhambyl (mountain)

Zhambyl (Kazakh: Жамбыл; Russian: Горы Джамбул) is a massif located in Jambyl Region, Kazakhstan.

Mount Zhambyl rises in an almost uninhabited area. Mirny, a mining town in the Moiynkum District, lies 55 kilometers (34 mi) to the east.

The Zhambyl massif is a northern prolongation of the Chu-Ili Range. It is located off the southwestern slopes of the southern section of the Zheltau upland, on the other side of which lies the Balkhash-Alakol Basin. It extends from northwest to southeast for about 25 kilometers (16 mi) to the north of the Mayzharylgan. The Betpak-Dala desert lies to the west.

The highest point of the Zhambyl is 972 meters (3,189 ft) high Mount Kyzylbelen, rising near the northern edge.

The soil is gray and crumbly. Some of the plants found in the range include Artemisia santolina, Anabasis, Salsola arbuscula, as well as sedges, especially in the valleys.
