Geography Mount Kisilyakh-Tas is a small, isolated mountain massif of the Kolyma Lowland, located east of the Suor Uyata range. It rises above the tundra on the right bank of the Alazeya, roughly south of the river's mouth in the shores of the East Siberian Sea.
Kisilyakh-Tas is located in a flat area, where there are only two other mountains nearby, a higher one to the SW and a smaller one to the west, both on the other side of the river. The three mountains are roughly at the same distance from each other.
Andryushkino, the only inhabited place nearby, is located to the SSW of Kisilyakh-Tas mountain, up the Alazeya.Google Earth The mountain is difficult to reach in the summer, but could be reached in April on a snowmobile if the weather is fine.Unknown landscapes of the planet.
