The Kisilyakh Range (Russian: Кисиляхский хребет; Yakut: Киһилээх) is a mountain range in the Sakha Republic, Far Eastern Federal District, Russia.[1] The nearest city is Batagay, and the nearest airport Batagay Airport.[2]
The mountains are topped by kigilyakh rock formations. Some of the finest kigilyakhs in Yakutia are located in this range,[3] the tallest among them reaching a height of 30 meters (98 ft).[4] Kisilyakh means "Mountain having a man" or "Mountain married" in the Yakut language.[5]
