[2] The area of the Polousny Range was first mapped by geographer and ethnologist Baron Gerhard von Maydell (1835–1894) during his pioneering research of East Siberia.

[4] The Polousny Range is part of the Momsko-Chersk Mountain Region (Russian: Момско-Черская область).

It includes separate low mountain ranges with stretches of plain in between roughly aligned from east to west.

[5] The main ridge stretches in a roughly east/ west direction from the headwaters of the Khroma River to the Indigirka for about 175 kilometers (109 mi).

[1] In the context of the singularity of the geology of the Polousny Range, Russian geomorphologist M. Groswald commented: According to V. Spector, the structure of the Polousny Range consists of Upper Jurassic schists and sandstones , which are cut off by a leveling surface covered with Pliocene pebbles .
