Kropotkin Range (Russian: Хребет Кропоткина) is a mountain range in Okinsky District, Buryatia, Russian Federation.[2] [3]
The Kropotkin Range is part of the Eastern Sayan mountains. It rises at the western end of Buryatia, to the northwest of the Oka river, stretching roughly for about 120km (80miles) in a SW to NE direction. The Khoyto-Oka tributary of the Oka separates this range from the Oka Range (Окинский хребет) to the west and north. To the eastern side of the river rise the Belskye Goltsy (Бельские Гольцы). The confluence of the Khoyto-Oka and the Oka marks the northeastern limit of the range.[4]
The mountains display an Alpine relief. The highest summit is 3149m (10,331feet) high Khoyto-Ula.[5] [1] [6] [7]
