Siberian Hills

The Selennyakh mountain country forms part of the Chersky system in northeastern Siberia. Its ridges separate rivers running toward the Indigirka from streams that find their way north to the Laptev Sea. The Nemkuchan ridge lies in the northeastern part of this mountainous region, while the Selennyakh and Uyandina drain its slopes. Valleys offer routes through a landscape otherwise dominated by long, cold ridges.
