The photo shows a frontier company called Khunjerab company patrolling in the snow. Khunjerab means a bloodstained passage in Tajik language. Khungerab Pass is located at the westernmost point of the Pamirs with an average elevation of more than 4,800 meters. In each patrol, soldiers might be confronted with mud-rock flows, snow storms, hails, avalanches and animal attacks. (Photo/81.cn) |
