Belki are snowy mountain peaks rising above the
treeline. The name means "white mountains" and, unlike the "
golets", which are more often than not free of snow in the summer, the Belki have generally a permanent snow cover. The terms "Belki" and "Belogorye" are part of the geographical name of several peaks and ridges of the
South Siberian System, especially in the region of the
Altai Mountains, such as the
Katun Belki and
Chuya Belki, as well as in the
Eastern Sayan, such as the
Agul Belki,
Manskoye Belogorye,
Kuturchinskoye Belogorye and
Kanskoye Belogorye. ==See also==
