===Eastern Sayan=== The Eastern Sayan stretches almost at a right angle to the Western Sayan for {{convert|1000|km|mi|abbr=on}} in a northwest/southeast direction, from the Yenisei to the [[Angara Range]]. Some subranges of the northwest form a system of "White Mountains" (Белогорье) or "[[Belki (geography)|Belki]]", such as Manskoye Belogorye, Kanskoye Belogorye, Kuturchinskoye Belogorye, as well as Agul Belki (Агульские Белки), with permanent snow on the peaks. In the central part, towards the upper reaches of the [[Kazyr]] and [[Kizir]] rivers, several ridges, such as the Kryzhin Range form a cluster culminating in the {{convert|2982|m|ft|abbr=on}} high [[Grandiozny Peak]], the highest point in Krasnoyarsk Krai. {{cn|date=August 2022}} To the southeast rise the highest and most remote subranges, including the [[Bolshoy Sayan]] and [[Kropotkin Range (Eastern Sayan)|Kropotkin Range]], as well as "[[Goltsy]]" type of mountains, such as the [[Tunka Goltsy]], [[Kitoy Goltsy]], [[Botogolsky Goltsy]], among others. The highest point of the Eastern Sayan, as well as the highest point of the whole Sayan system, {{convert|3491|m|ft|abbr=on}} high Mount [[Munku-Sardyk]], is located in the range of the same name in this area. {{convert|2939|m|ft|abbr=on}} high [[Pik Tofalariya]] is the highest point of [[Irkutsk Oblast]]. The mountains of the Eastern Sayan characteristically display alpine relief forms. In general, rivers flowing down from the ranges form [[gorge]]s and there is an abundance of waterfalls in the area.<ref>ЭСБЕ/Саянский горный хребет, Энциклопедический словарь Брокгауза и Ефрона : в 86 т.
