Examples from the literature
“A steep and high cape, outstanding in the direction of a rock on the bank of the river.” (V. A. Kazakevich) [2]
“... Within a few minutes we drove up to the tall Burt Boom. In places, on narrow ledges hanging over the bubbling Chulyshman, squeezed here in a narrow gorge, it becomes eerie. ”(V.I. Vereshchagin) [6]
“... But a new high bom came already ahead - Yar-bom , completely of the same character, with the same narrow cornices and steps.” (V.I. Vereshchagin) [6]
“... Below Tyugyuruk, the so-called Blue Boom (Kok Boom) rises above Kosy, very beautiful, especially in the evening light, and consisting of blue slates, sheer cliffs falling into the river” [7] [8] .
“... A mile below the mouth of M. Yaloman at the Katun’s turn, the path rises to the rocks of the Boma Kyngrar, which falls in vertical steps towards the bustling river.” (VV Sapozhnikov) [9]
“... We continued our way down Cholushman. But after only a few minutes of driving we stop in bewilderment: the path rested right on Cholushman, and in front of us was an almost sheer cliff; she came close to a foaming stream, roaring along a strongly inclined channel. This is the famous Saint-Boom , the most difficult of all the Cholushman bombs. ”(V.I. Vereshchagin) [6]
