The car staircase is clearly visible in the photo.
The Karov Staircase is a group, a series of cars , that is, cup-shaped closed recesses cut into the side of a mountain, located in several tiers one below the other and separated by ledges.
On the bottoms of cars in the stairwells, one can judge the height of the snow line in different ice ages [1] .
Often found in the upper valleys [2] of mountainous countries.
