The Tirekhtyakh Range (Russian: Тирехтяхский хребет; Yakut: Тирэхтээх)[1] [2] is a mountain range in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Far Eastern Federal District, Russia. The nearest city is Batagay to the north of the range.[3]
The closest airport is Batagay Airport.[4]
The Tirekhtyakh Range rises in the area of the Yana-Oymyakon Highlands, part of the Chersky Mountains, to the west of the Adycha, south of the Borulakh and north of the Nelgese.[5] It stretches in a roughly southwest–northeast direction for about 130km (80miles),[6] with the Adycha bending westwards at its northern end. The highest peak is a 1816m (5,958feet) high unnamed summit.[7]
The slightly larger and higher Nelgesin Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the south, stretching roughly parallel to the general direction of the Tirekhtyakh Range.[8]
