Rarytkin Range
Mountains Remote Arctic mountain range in Chukotka
An Arctic mountain range in Chukotka with tundra plateaus, narrow ridges and a polar climate. Specialists and adventurous travellers visit for remote birding, stark coastal landscapes and off-the-beaten-track hiking.
Rarytkin Range is a mountain range in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in far northeastern Russia. It is part of the remote upland terrain of the Chukotka region.
The area is remote and dominated by tundra and rugged hills rather than built attractions. Visitation is limited and typically by expedition or specialist travel operators rather than regular tourism.
The Rarytkin Range is a natural feature shaped by regional geological processes; there is no widely documented constructed history associated with the range in general sources. Human presence in the wider Chukotka region has traditionally been sparse and largely associated with indigenous communities.
The range lies in northeastern Russia within Chukotka Autonomous Okrug at high northern latitude. The nearest large administrative center is the regional capital Anadyr, with the range located well to the northeast of Russia’s main population centers.
