The Abakan Mountains ( Russian Абака́нский хребе́т , transcribed Abakanski chrebet ) is a mountain range in southern Siberia ( Russia ) that extends northeast of Lake Teletsk over 300 kilometers to the northeast . It represents the western boundary of the Minussinsk Basin and the watershed between the Abakan (tributary of the Yenisei ), the Tom (tributary of the Ob ) with its tributary Mras-Su and the Lebed (tributary of the Bija , a source of the Ob).
The average height of the mountain is 1400–1700 meters, its highest point is an unnamed summit of the Tschootschek ridge at 1984 meters. Coniferous forest (taiga) grows on its slopes up to a height of around 1700 meters , especially silver firs , spruces and Siberian stone pines ("cedars"), as well as the mountain tundra beyond the tree line .
