Geography

The Tirekhtyakh Range rises in the area of the Yana-Oymyakon Highlands, part of the Chersky Mountains, to the west of the Adycha, south of the Borulakh and north of the Nelgese. It stretches in a roughly southwest–northeast direction for about 130 kilometers (81 mi), with the Adycha bending westwards at its northern end. The highest peak is a 1,816 metres (5,958 ft) high unnamed summit.

The slightly larger and higher Nelgesin Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the south, stretching roughly parallel to the general direction of the Tirekhtyakh Range.
