Subpolar Urals

a section of the Urals between the upper course of the Khulga River (Ob’ Basin) and the latitudinal stretch of the Shugor River (Pechora Basin); it intersects the main range at 64° N lat. The Subpolar Urals extend from northeast to southwest for 230 km, with widths to 150 km. The region includes the highest peaks in the Urals: Mount Narodnaia (1,894m), Mount Karpinskii (1,878m), and Mount Manaraga (1,820m). The highest axial section of the region is composed of quartzites and crystalline schists; the western and eastern slopes consist of metamorphic and sedimentary rocks (sandstones, limestones). There are small glaciers (Gofman, Varsonof eva) and numerous areas of perpetual snow. Traces of mountain and valley glaciation are common. At elevations below 500m, the slopes are covered with taiga forests (fir, larch, birch); higher, there are mountain tundras, cliffs, and rocky placers.
