Peter I Range is located in the south-east of Jirgatol district in Tajikistan's Region of Republican Subordination. It forms a westerly extension of the northern Pamirs, separating the watersheds of the Surchob in the north and the Obikhingou river in the south. The range stretches in a roughly east–west direction for about 200 km, connecting with the Academy of Sciences Range at its eastern end.[2]
Its highest summit is Moscow Peak (6,785 m). Other peaks are Leningrad Peak (6,507 m), Abalakov Peak (6,446 m), Oshanin Peak (6,389 m), Kirov Peak (6,372 m), Kuybyshev Peak (6,189 m), and the ultra-prominent Agasis Peak (5,877 m).[3]
