-45I.Introduction Lake Karakul (ca. 39°N, ca. 73°25'E) is a closed-basin lake situated in the northeastern Pamirs (Fig. 1). It is located at an altitude of 3,915 m a.s.l. and has an area of 380 km. Paleoshoreline landforms and glacial landforms can be observed in the coastal area of the lake. Reconstruction of lakelevel fluctuations and glacial history on the basis of the classification of these landforms is crucial for discussing the long-term climate changes of the arid eastern Pamirs, where the present mean annual precipitation is below 100 mm (UNEP, 2002). However, little is known about the distribution and classification of the landforms. In this paper, I present photographs (see Fig. 2 for localities) of geomorphic evidence of paleolakes and glaciation and rock-weathering features, which are one of the best indicators of the age of glacial landforms and deposits. I describe the glacial and lacustrine terrace landforms from the chronological viewpoint elsewhere.
