Encyclopedic overview
The Chersky Range (Russian: Хребет Черского, Yakut: Черскэй хайалара, romanized: Çerskey xayalara) is a chain of mountains in northeastern Siberia between the Yana and Indigirka Rivers. Administratively, the area of the range belongs to the Sakha Republic, although a small section in the east is within Magadan Oblast. The highest peak in the range is the 3,003-metre-tall (9,852 ft) Peak Pobeda, part of the Ulakhan-Chistay Range. The range also includes important places of traditional Yakut culture, such as Ynnakh Mountain (Mat'-Gora) and kigilyakh rock formations.
The Moma Natural Park is a protected area located in the southern zone of the range.
