Geography
To the north rises the Chuvanay Range and to the northeast the Ilirney Range, on the other side of the Maly Anyuy River.[2] The Anyuy Range is part of the East Siberian System of mountains and is one of the subranges of the Anadyr Highlands.[3] To the east of the eastern end of the range rises the Shchuchy Range, stretching in a roughly southwestern direction, and to the south of the range rises the roughly parallel Oloy Range of the Kolyma Mountains.[2]
Although there are no glaciers in the range in present times, there is evidence of ancient glaciation. The Anyuy Range is drained by rivers Maly Anyuy, Bolshoy Anyuy, and Omolon.[4] The highest point is 1,779 metres (5,837 ft) high Blokhin Peak (Пик Блохина) at 67°06′06″N 166°51′38″E / 67.10167°N 166.86056°E,[1] and the second highest 1,759 metres (5,771 ft) high Pik Sovetskoy Gvardii (Soviet Guard Peak).[5]
In 1952 a volcano was discovered in the southern part of the range following examination of aerial images. The volcano was named Anyuyskiy.[6]

Flora
