Geography

The Bayanaul Range is one of the subranges of the Kazakh Upland system (Saryarka). It rises in the northeastern sector of the highlands. The Bayanaul stretches from east to west for about Шаблон:Convert with mountaintops averaging between Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert. The highest point is Akbet, a Шаблон:Convert high summit. The uppermost levels of the mountains are generally rocky and their slopes are deeply dissected by valleys and ravines. No major rivers have their sources in the range. Most flow into the surrounding steppe, their waters ending up in distant salt lakes or dispersed in the sands.[1][4][2]

The main lakes in the range are Sabyndykol, the largest one, as well as Zhasybai, Toraigyr and Byrzhankol, the latter located in the western part of the range. There are also numerous rock formations within the mountain area.[4][2]
