Description
Bounded to the south by the Kuray and Chuya Basins, the Kuray mountains form the northern part of a metamorphic dome complex. The highest peak is Tydtuyaryk at 3,367 metres (11,000 ft).[1][2]
Major rivers flow from the Kuray mountains predominantly to the north, where they continue for several hundred kilometres through the northern Altai Mountains, passing through Lake Teletskoye.
