Dzhugdzhur Mountains
|
The Dzhugdzhur Mountains are a mountain range in the far east of Siberia that run along the entire northwest coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. In the east, mountains emerge from the Stanovoi Range and run northeast for some 1500 kilomteres before splitting three ways into the Cherskiy Mountains, Verkhoyansk Mountains, and Gydan Mountains. The mountains are quite deserted, the one exception being the gold mines that have operated in the range since the 1920s.
