Stanovoi

or YABLONOI, a mountain chain in the N. E. of Asia, which forms the boundary between Siberia and Manchuria, skirts the Sea of Okhotsk, and is continued though with gradually diminishing height, to the shores of Bering Strait. The whole length of the chain has been estimated at 3,000 miles.

The E. part is often distinctively called Yablonoi. This mountain range gives rise to the rivers Amur and Anadir on its.

S. and E. side, and to the Yenisei, Lena, Indighirka, and Kolyma on the N. and W. side.
