We awoke to stillness no wind stirring and no morning bird chorus. Then the faint bleat of a goat penetrated the felt walls of our ger followed by the muffled snort of a yak, all sounds expected when camping among Kazakh pastoralists at 2650m/8700ft on the north side of Tsengal KhayrKhab (3943m/12,936’) in the Altai Mountains. As a zoologist-naturalist, I was here with a group of nine friends to learn about the natural history of the Altais and to visit with the Kazakh “Eagle People.”
