Geography

The Nelgesin Range rises in the area of the Yana-Oymyakon Highlands, part of the Chersky Mountains, to the west of the Adycha and north of the Derbeke.[4] It stretches in a roughly southwest–northeast direction for about 140 kilometers (87 mi),[5] with the Adycha at its northern end. The highest peak is a 1,926 metres (6,319 ft) high unnamed summit.[6]

The smaller Tirekhtyakh Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the north, stretching parallel to the general direction of the Nelgesin Range.[7]
