The Kulargebirge ( Russian Горы Кулар , Yakut Кулар сис ), also Kularkamm called (Хребет Кулар), is one to 1,302 meters high, about 380 km long mountain range of the East Siberian Uplands , both in the northeast of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) , as well as Siberia and Russia ( Asia ).
Geographical location
The Kulargebirge is a rocky mountain range on average around 300 km north of the Arctic Circle . Running in a south-west-north-east direction, it meets the Kjundjuljun Mountains beyond the Jana in the north-east, which merges in this direction and north to the Jana-Indigirka lowlands (western part of the East Siberian lowlands ). In this lowland it also drops to the north over its foothills Ulachan-Sis ridge . To the east and southeast of the landscape passes beyond the Jana to some remote chersky range above and to the south, southwest and west in the somewhat distant Verkhoyansk Mountain Range , in particular, beyond themselves and to the west of the Kulargebirge passing Omoloi extends.
The highest mountain is an unnamed elevation ( 1302 m ) in the north-northeast part of the mountain range.
Geology and flora
From a geological point of view, the Kulargebirge consists of mica schist and sandstone and, in the north, of granites . There are also deposits of gold and tin . Due to the proximity of the Arctic Laptev Sea, permafrost prevails with vegetation of moss and lichen typical of the tundra . In the lower regions, larch forests grow in some areas .
Localities
The interior of the Kulargebirge is uninhabited. However, at its north-northeast end in the Jana valley lies the village of Ust-Kuiga , and Kular (until 1998 mining settlement) is in the northern foothills of the Ulachan-Sis ridge . To the southeast lies Kustur , to the south are Emenderjan and Batagai-Alyta and to the west at Omoloi Namy .
