Despite the beauty of its landscapes the range is rarely visited owing to its remoteness. In 1977 a group of tourists from Kharkov visited the area and climbed Salishchev Peak.[1] The nearest airport is Ust-Nera Airport.[2]

Geology

With a length of over 200 kilometers (120 mi) the Chibagalakh Range is the largest batholith in the area of Northeastern Russia. It is in part peraluminous two-mica granite —a granite containing both muscovite and biotite micas), being the showpiece of the "collisional" granites.[3][4]

Geography

The Chibagalakh Range rises in the central area of the Chersky Range, between the valley of the Tuostakh —a tributary of the Adycha, and the valley of the Chibagalakh river of the Indigirka basin,[5] while to the southeast lies the valley of the Charky river. The range stretches in a roughly northwest–southeast direction for about 250 kilometers (160 mi). The highest peak is an unnamed 2,449 metres (8,035 ft) high peak.

The Borong Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the west parallel to it, the smaller Porozhny Range to the south, the Dogdo Range to the north and the Chemalgin Range to the northeast. Lake Tabanda is located in the range.[6]

Flora

There are forests of larch covering the mountain slopes. At higher elevation there is a belt of dwarf cedar and further up mountain tundra.[5]
