The Yam-Alin is a northern prolongation of the Bureya Range. Its mountains display alpine relief and stretch for about 180 kilometres (110 mi).[4] The highest point is an unnamed 2,370 metres (7,780 ft) high summit;[5] further south of it rises the Gorod Makit,[6] an ultra prominent peak with a height of 2,253 metres (7,392 ft). To the southwest rises the Ezop Range, and east of it the Dusse-Alin.[2]
Flora
The lower slopes of the range are covered with coniferous forests up to altitudes of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), followed by thickets of dwarf cedar and mountain tundra at higher elevations.[4]
