context_page_description: The Verkhoyansk Range is a mountain range in the Sakha Republic, Russia. It is part of the East Siberian Mountains.
  The range lies just west of the boundary of the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates. The mountains were formed by folding, and represent an anticline.
