Verkhoyansk Range
The 854th highest mountain range in the world
The Verkhoyansk Range (Verhoyanskiy Khrebet, Yakut) is a mountain range in the Sakha Republic, Russia, near the settlement of Verkhoyansk, known for its frigid climate. It is part of the East Siberian Mountains. The range lies just west of the boundary of the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates. The mountains were formed by folding, and represent an anticline. The Verkhoyansk Range was covered by glaciers during the Last Glacial Period, and the mountains in the northern section, such as the Orulgan Range, display a typical Alpine relief. There are coal, silver, lead, tin, and zinc deposits in the mountains.
