It is limited to the west by the bank of the Chantalveergyn River, beyond which rises the Ekiatap Range; to the north it borders with the Palyavaam range, and to the south with the Ekityk Range. The highest point of the range is Iskhodnaya peak, reaching 1,843 metres (6,047 ft)[3][2] —or 1,887 metres (6,191 ft) according to other sources.[4] This summit is also the highest point of the Chukotka Mountains.[2]
