Abstract
KARA-KORUM is the name of a pass, yet it has been applied not only to the range containing the pass, but also to a tangled mass of mountains lying far to the west. Exploration of this tangle has indicated that it consists of a series of ranges; so that the name Kara-Korum, as it is generally used, indicates a large district, rather than any particular range of mountains.
