Geography
The Kyllakh Range stretches roughly from north to south for about 100 kilometres (62 mi) to the southwest of the Ulakhan-Bom, one of the three longer parallel ranges that form a group to the east.[1] It is bound in the north by the Khanda river. To the west it is limited by the banks of the Aldan River and to the south by the Allakh-Yun river. The highest point of the mountain chain is an unnamed 901 metres (2,956 ft) high summit.[2][3]
