The Silyap Range (Russian: Силяпский хребет; sah|Силэп) is a mountain range in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Far Eastern Federal District, Russia. The nearest city is Ust-Nera.[1]
The Silyap Range rises in the central area of the Chersky Range, to the west of the upper course of the Indigirka.[2] Although the range is one of the smallest of the system, it has some of the most massive mountains of the range. The Silyap Range stretches in a roughly west–east direction for about 100km (100miles). The highest peak is 2690m (8,830feet) high Mount Chyon (Гора Чён), also known as "Gora Chen", an ultra-prominent peak.[3]
The larger Borong Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the northwest, and the Porozhny Range to the north. The northern end of the Tas-Kystabyt rises roughly 70 km to the south of the range.[4] [5]
