==Geography== The Olyutor Range is a coastal mountain chain, with its eastern flank facing the Bering Sea. It is part of the Koryak Highland system. Despite the relatively small height of the range, its mountains have an alpine character with sharp, pointed ridgetops and steep slopes covered with scree. Deep river gorges and glacial valleys are widespread. The highest point is Greben, a {{convert|1568|m|ft|0}} high peak.
To the north rises the Snegovoy Range and the southern part of the range forms the Olyutor Peninsula, jutting southwards with the Olyutor Gulf to the west. The southern end of the peninsula is Cape Olyutor (Mys Olyutorsky).<ref name="QP">[http://quist.pro/books/shiroko-shagaya_kniga_rundkvist_085-097.php Рундквист Н. Каприз ''блуждающего пальца.

==Climate and flora== The climate is influenced by the ocean. Summers are short and cool, with frequent fog and rains. Winters are long and cold, often windy, frosts are relatively rare.
The mountains are covered with dwarf forests, Erman's birch groves, meadows and coastal tundra.<ref>V. Yu.
