Salair Ridge

Salair Ridge (pronounced sah-lah-EER; Russian: Салаирский кряж. Salairsky Kryazh ) is an eroded plateau-type highland of low elevation in the Southwestern Siberia, Russia, particularly in Altai Krai, Kemerovo and Novosibirsk Oblast. It is a natural continuation of Altai Mountains and separates the Kuznetsk Depression from the Ob River Plain to the southwest. Its main ridge is nearly parallel to that of Kuznetsk Alatau. The ridge is some 300 kilometres in length and 15-40 kilometres wide.
