Omchikan Range

The Omsukchan Range forms part of the Kolyma Highlands in northeastern Siberia. Its ridges rise between the basins of the Balygychan and Sugoy, both tributaries of the Kolyma. Streams descend from the mountain slopes into long valleys, while northern forest occupies lower ground. Snow and severe cold dominate the long winter, and the highlands divide the headwaters of neighbouring river systems.
