Geography

The Ezop is a range in northeastern Siberia, located in the eastern end of Amur Oblast and the southwestern side of Khabarovsk Krai. It is part of the Yankan - Tukuringra - Soktakhan - Dzhagdy group of mountain ranges.[1]

The Ezop Range runs in a roughly east/west direction for about 150 kilometres (93 mi). The Selemdzha River has its sources in the range. To the north of the mountain chain rises the Selemdzha Range running roughly parallel to it. The northern end of the Turan Range meets the southern slopes of the range from the south. At the eastern end rise the Jam-Alin and Dusse-Alin ranges, which run in a north/south direction in Khabarovsk Krai. To the southwest lies the Zeya-Bureya Lowland.[2] The highest point of the Ezop is a 2,241 metres (7,352 ft) high unnamed summit.[3]

Flora

The slopes of the range are covered by taiga, mainly consisting of larch, up to elevations of 1,200 metres (3,900 ft).[1]

gollark: We still pay attention to them a lot and treat them seriously.
gollark: I mean, they're mostly heuristics for stuff which vaguely made sense in the savannah 100000 years ago.
gollark: Privacy, because apparently Humanity doesn't care about it.
gollark: Hmm, so nutrient paste with flavouring, then.
