The Kolyma Mountains or Kolyma Upland (Russian: Колымское нагорье, tr. Kolymskoye Nagorye) is a mountain range in northeastern Siberia, lying mostly within the Magadan Oblast, along the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk in the Kolyma region.[1] It stretches 1,300 kilometers (810 mi) on a NW-SW alignment and consists of a series of plateaus and ridges punctuated by granite peaks that typically range between 1,500 to 1,800 meters (4,900 to 5,900 ft). The range's highest point is the Omsukchan Ridge at 1,962 meters (6,437 ft).[2]
