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.[5] It stretches in a roughly southwest–northeast direction for about 140km (90miles),[6] with the Adycha at its northern end. The highest peak is a 1926m (6,319feet) high unnamed summit.[7]

The smaller Tirekhtyakh Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the north, stretching parallel to the general direction of the Nelgesin Range.[8]
