The Skalisty Range (Russian: Скалистый хребет; Yakut: Скалистай) is a range of mountains in far North-eastern Russia, part of the East Siberian System. Administratively the mountain chain belongs to the Sakha Republic. The area of the range is remote and desolate. The R504 Kolyma Highway passes through the northern part of the range.[1]
