The Yana Plateau (Russian: Янское плоскогорье, Yakut: Дьааҥы хаптал хайалара) is a mountain plateau in the Sakha Republic, Far Eastern Federal District, Russia.[1]

The plateau lies in an uninhabited area where solitude prevails. It was first surveyed and mapped in 1868 by Gerhard von Maydell (1835–1894), a Russian government officer in East Siberia of Estonian descent.[2]
