Geography

The Ymiysky Range rises off the northwestern side of the Khadaranya Range, located to the east of the lower course of the Yana River. It is one of the smaller ranges in the northern sector of the Chersky Range.[3][2]

The northern end of the ridge rises south east of the confluence of the Oldzho river with the Nenneli, its main tributary. The range stretches east of the right bank of river Nenneli in a roughly NW–SE direction for about 50 kilometers (31 mi). The Kisilyakh Range rises to the southwest of the Nenneli valley.[3] The highest peak is an unnamed 1,045.4 metres (3,430 ft) high summit.[4]
