==Geography== The Silyap Range rises in the central area of the Chersky Range, to the west of the upper course of the Indigirka.<ref>[http://arctoa.ru/ru/Archive-ru/27_2/Arctoa27_157_163.pdf A Contribution to the Liverwort Flora of the Upper Course of Indigirka River, East Yakutia]</ref> Although the range is one of the smallest of the system, it has some of the most massive mountains of the range. The Silyap Range stretches in a roughly west–east direction for about {{convert|100|km|sp=us}}. The highest peak is {{convert|2690|m|ft}} high Mount Chyon (Гора Чён), also known as "Gora Chen", an ultra-prominent peak.<ref>[http://ridgesrussia.ru/?news=36 Массив Чен]</ref>
The larger Borong Range, another subrange of the Chersky Mountains, rises to the northwest, and the Porozhny Range to the north. The northern end of the Tas-Kystabyt rises roughly 70 km to the south of the range.<ref name="GЕ">Google Earth</ref><ref name=STM>{{cite web|url=https://maps.vlasenko.net/smtm1000/p-53_54.jpg|title=P-53_54 Chart (in Russian)|access-date=10 May 2023}}</ref>
