Geography

The Selemdzha Range is a range of moderate altitudes located in the eastern end of Amur Oblast and the western side of Khabarovsk Krai. Is highest point is 1,940 metres (6,360 ft) high Mount Iryungda located in the eastern part.[3] River Inaragda, a right tributary of the Selitkan, has its sources in the range.

The range runs in a roughly east/west direction for about 250 kilometres (160 mi) flanking the northern banks of the Selemdzha River. To the north of the western part of the mountain chain rises the Dzhagdy Range and to the south of its eastern part, the Ezop Range, running roughly parallel to it. The northern end of the Yam-Alin and the southern end of the Taikan Range meet at the easternmost limit of the range.[4]

Flora

The slopes of the range are covered by taiga, mainly consisting of larch.
