Belukha Mountain is the highest point in Siberia and Altai. It is located in the northeast, and the top of the mountain is a peak whose height is 4,506 km. This is the realm of ice, snow, menacing avalanches and beautiful sparkling waterfalls.
The first researchers were delighted with the beauty of the area and even compared Altai with Switzerland. In Mongolian, the word Altai means "Mountains of Gold" and with good reason. Buddhists believe that Belukha Mountain is the "heart" of the Universe, and ancient Christians also considered Belovodye a blessed country in which people feel happy and peaceful. It is not just a symbol of Altai, it is a place where you can recharge your batteries. Many legends are associated with Mount Belukha, and it has long been considered sacred.
Symbol of Altai
Mount Belukha is a very entertaining object for mountaineering and mountain climbing. It is located in a hard-to-reach remote region where no one lives. You can get to it by horse, on foot or by helicopter.
Belukha Mountain is located at the same distance from four oceans - the Arctic,Indian, Pacific and Atlantic - exactly in the center. The famous philosopher, researcher and artist Roerich N. K. believed that Altai (Belukha Mountain) is a place where three great religions meet: Orthodoxy, Buddhism and Islam.
Modern research of geophysicists
It has been scientifically proven that Mount Belukha is the bearer of strong energy-intensive processes. In this place, intense energy flows emanate from the mantle, through the earth's crust to the upper layers of the ionosphere. Often in the vicinity of Belukha you can see atmospheric glows. Climbing Belukha helps a person get rid of problems and negative thoughts, as he begins to interact with the energy of the area, receive impulses from nature and radiate them himself.
But it is worth noting that not everyone can stay in such places for a long time without fear of harming their he alth. Local residents, for example, prefer to worship the Great White Mountain at its foot and go up only in case of emergency. All the space on the slopes and foot of the mountain for the locals is a sacred temple. It cannot be examined and analyzed by the human intellect. This place is mysterious and unpredictable, and one should climb the Great Mountain only with reverence.
Belukha summit climbers
For the first time, Belukha Mountain was conquered by the Tronov brothers. It happened on July 26, 1914 - this date is considered the beginning of mountaineering in Altai. In 1926, an attempt was made to climb the top of Belukha from the north side, butThe expedition members had to return. Only in 1933, the expedition led by Vitaly Abalakov for the first time reached the top of the Great Mountain, having passed the path from its northern side.
Today, the peaks of Belukha attract many climbers from all over the world. Ascents are made again and again every year, and despite the established routes and modern equipment, Mount Belukha still tests people for strength and spirit.
