0209 [Photo] 129 Gorge of the Ispairan in its lower portion, where it begins to widen as it flows northward from the Alai Mountains to the Fergana Basin. The valley is filled with gravel, in which the stream has cut terraces.
0210 [Photo] 130 Limestone Gorge of the Western Kichik Alai, where it enters the Ispairan River on the north side of the Alai Mountains. Probably the upper portion of the gorge was widened by a glacier, and the narrow slit at the bottom represents post-glacial cutting. The main valley, from the side of which the photograph was taken, is clearly of glacial origin, and the side valley must have borne a hanging relation to that of the master stream.
