The highest point in Zaqistan. Zaq Landsberg planted a flag upon this peak when he first arrived at the land in 2005. A small watchtower constructed of sandbags was completed in 2008 by Landsberg and Jeff Herbst. It offered the first unobstructed sweeping views of Zaqistan. Members of the 6th Expedition to Zaqistan added a 17 foot flag pole which now triumphantly flies the Zaqistani flag whenever Zaqistanis are present.

Wildflowers

A public works project planted by members of the 6th Expedition to Zaqistan at Cody's Point in 2010. Made of plastic, this bed of wildflowers is well suited to the harsh Zaqistani climate for they won't every wilt or die.

The Zaqopolis is a clearing behind Mt. Insurmountable and because it is flat and relatively shelted from the wind, functions as the main camping, cooking and living site in Zaqistan. It was the site of a geodesic dome that was constructed by Jeff Sisson and Zaq Landsberg in 2007. The dome vanished without a trace in 2009 and remained missing for two years until its squashed frame work was discovered 1/3 of a mile from its original location. Gale force winds are the suspected culprit.
