The Nicholas Range (Persian: سلسله کوه نیکلاس), known locally as Selselehi-i Koh-i-Wakhan (سلسله کوه واخان) is a range of mountains in the Pamir Mountains on the border of Afghanistan and Tajikistan that that crosses the Wakhan in Afghanistan. 〔Ludwig W. Adamec. Historical and political gazetteer of Afghanistan Vol. 1. Badakhshan Province and northeastern Afghanistan. Graz : Akad. Druck- und Verl.-Anst., 1972.p. 128.〕〔(Wakhan Afghanistan and Tajikistan )〕 The range separates the Little Pamir and Great Pamir in the Wakhan. The area is sparsely populated by Wakhi and Kyrgyz.
The range has peaks that rise 5500 to 5800 metres (18,000 to 19,000 ft) elevation.〔 The range is about in length.〔 The Afghan-Tajik border follows the crest of the eastern half of the range.〔
The range was given the title ''Nicholas Range'' during the joint Russo-British Pamir Boundary Commission of 1895 that delineated the border between Russian and Afghan territory. In exchange for a British agreement to use the term ''Nicholas Range,'' in honor of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, on official maps, the Russians agreed to refer to Lake Zorkul as ''Lake Victoria'' in honor of Queen Victoria of England. 〔Afghanistan, Baluchistan, Kashmir, Chitral, Gilgit, Pamirs and North-West Frontier: Summary of Diary for August 1895. p. 4.
