[2] Batagay-Alyta, the only permanent settlement in the area, lies off the southeastern slopes of the range.

[3] Previously uncharted, this range was first put on the map in 1932 by Soviet geologist Ivan Atlasov, Professor of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, who carried out geological surveys in Yakutia.

It is located in the main ridge, stretching southwards to the west of the Orulgan Range and almost parallel to it.

[2][3] The highest point of the Sietinden is an unnamed 1,929 metres (6,329 ft) high summit located in its southern section.

[2][5] The mountain slopes are covered with sparse larch forests and the valleys with tundra.
