Dzhardzhan Range
mountain range in Russia
The Dzhardzhan Range (Russian: Джарджанский хребет; Yakut: Дьардьаан, Carcaan) is a range of mountains in far North-eastern Russia. Administratively the range is part of the Sakha Republic, Russian Federation.
Geography
The Dzhardzhan Range is one of the subranges of the Verkhoyansk Range system and is located in its northern section. It stretches from north to south between the Lena River to the west and the higher Orulgan Range to the east, running in a roughly parallel direction to it. The highest point of the range is an unnamed 1,925 metres (6,316 ft) high peak. River Dzhardzhan cuts across the range in its middle section.
Hydrography
Rivers with their sources in the more massive Orulgan rising to the east cut across the Dzhardzhan Range through steep gorges and ravines. They are right tributaries of the Lena River flowing westwards, such as the Natara, Uel-Siktyakh and Kuranakh-Siktyakh. The Byosyuke flows in its northern limit while the valleys of the Syncha and Nelon, the two rivers which form the Menkere, are at its southern end.
Flora
The mountain slopes are covered with larch taiga and the valleys with tundra.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Dzhardzhan Range” as mountain range in Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as mountain range in Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20623119. Authority coordinates are 68.750, 127.000. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
