Re: What is

I should have mentioned this in the main text. "Shakhak" means "little horn". It refers to the two horns on the left.

Re: What is

Shakhak means horn in Persian, lot's of horn shaped peaks are named as "Shakhak" in Iran, there are 3 main horn peaks east to Alamkouh as you see in the picture and are named as simple as "Shakhak 1", "Shakhak 2" and "Shakhak 3"
