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. [1]
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. [1] [2]
The highest point of the Zhambyl is 972 meters (3,189 ft) high Mount Kyzylbelen, rising near the northern edge. [1] [3]
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. [3]
