Geography
The highest peak is Spantik, 7,027 metres (23,054 ft). The other namesake peak is Sosbun Brakk, 6,413 metres (21,040 ft).[1]
The Spantik-Sosbun Mountains are a narrow range, about 120 kilometres (75 mi) long, trending roughly east–west. On the north, the range is bounded by the important Hispar and Biafo Glaciers, across which lie the Hispar Muztagh and Panmah Muztagh respectively. On the southwest, the Barpu Glacier and the longer Chogo Lungma Glacier separate the range from the Rakaposhi-Haramosh Mountains; the pass known as the Polan La, 5,840 metres (19,160 ft)separates the Barpu from the Chogo Lungma, and links the two ranges. On the southeast, the Braldu River separates the range from the somewhat lower Mango Gusor Mountains.[1]
