The Munni Range (Russian: Муннийский Хребет;[2] Yakut: Мунньи сис) is a range of mountains in far North-eastern Russia. Administratively the range is part of the Sakha Republic, Russian Federation.
The Munni Range is one of the subranges of the Verkhoyansk Range system and is located in its southwestern section.[3] It stretches roughly from northwest to southeast between the Kelter Range to the north and the Sorkin Range to the southwest, running in a roughly parallel direction to both ranges. The western end is bound by the valleys of the Munni (a tributary of the Belyanka) and the Buruolakh (a tributary of the (Lyapiske), beyond which rise the Muosuchan and the Bygyn Range stretching northwestwards.[4]
River Tumara cuts across the range roughly in its central part and Segyan-Kyuyol village lies on its right bank, below the southern slopes of the mountainside. The highest point of the Munni Range is an unnamed 1784m (5,853feet) high peak located at the northern end. The Sordogin Range stretches eastwards beyond the valley of river Kele, at the eastern end of the range.[3] [5] [6]
