Geography

The Kelter Range is one of the subranges of the Verkhoyansk Range system and is located in its southwestern section.^[2] It stretches roughly from northwest to southeast to the north of the Munni Range, running in an arch in a parallel direction to it. The western end is bound by the valley of the Tagyndzha, a tributary of the Belyanka, and the eastern by the valley of the Eyeges (Эйэгес), a tributary of the Kele.^[3][4]

River Tumara cuts across the range in its central part and its right tributary Nuora flows below the northeastern slopes of the range. The highest point of the Kelter Range is an unnamed 2,002 metres (6,568 ft) high peak. River Lyapiske has its sources at the western end of the range.^[2][5][3]
