Adelung

Mount Adelung (Russian: ора дeлуна) is the tallest mountain in the Pskem Range (Russian: скемски реет), located in Uzbekistan's Tashkent Province. Mount Adelung, at 4,301 meters, is the highest peak in Tashkent Province, just 2 meters higher than neighbouring Mount Beshtor, which is located a little farther south-west in the same range, and it is frequently misidentified as the "highest point in Uzbekistan" by numerous web sources. In actuality, the Khazret Sultan, a peak with an elevation of 4,643 meters in Surkhandarya Province, in the Uzbek part of the Gissar Range, near the Tajikistan border, was originally known as Peak of the Communist Party's 22nd Congress. The ranges were generated by tectonic earth power, which created folds that subsequently expanded into large mountain ranges. There is no record of the mountain's first ascent. Several consulting organizations have specialized in assisting visitors in climbing Adelung.

Some web sources use the name Adelunga Toghi, where Adelunga is the Russian possessive form of Adelung and Toghi (tog' in Latin script, тo in Cyrillic script) is apparently the Uzbek word for mountain. At the time of writing, it is unknown who Adelung the mountain is named after.
