Yablonoi Mountains

The Yablonoi Mountains or Yablonovyy Mountains are a mountain range in Siberia. The range runs north-east from Mongolia, passing just to the east of Lake Baikal. They run for about 1600 kilometers before joining with the Stanovoi Range. The range forms the dividing line between the rivers that empty into the Arctic Ocean and those that empty into the Pacific. The isolated range is sparsely inhabited, with most of the settlements being based around mines. The area is especially rich in tin. The Trans-Siberian Railroad runs parallel to the range before going through a tunnel to bypass the heights. The range is not particularly tall or large being long and thin. The tallest peak is Mount Sokhondo at 2,500 meters.

Yablonoviy Range (Яблоновый хребет in Russian) is a mountain range in Transbaikal (mainly in Chita Oblast) in Russia.

It stretches for some 650 km from the Malkhansky Range on the west to the mouth of the Nyukzha River (tributary of the Olyokma River) on the east. The highest peak of the range is 1,680 m. It is formed with granites, crystalline slates, and sandstones. The slopes of the Yablonoviy Range are covered with larch and occasional fir and silver fir taiga. Pine forests are quite common on the southern slopes of the range. Peaks higher than 1,200 - 1,400 meters are covered with mountainous tundra vegetation.
