Tannu-Ola, mountain range of southern Tyva (Tuva), extending eastward about 350 miles (560 km) from the Altai Mountains in Russia. The average elevation of its summits is 8,200–8,850 feet (2,500–2,700 metres) above sea level, with a maximum elevation of 10,043 feet (3,061 metres) at Sagly in the Western Tannu-Ola; the highest point in the Eastern Tannu-Ola is Despen (8,501 feet [2,591 metres]). The range is drained northward by the northern Yenisey River and southward into the Hövsgol Lake. Tributaries of the Yenisey in the Western Tannu-Ola include the Anyyak-Chirgaky, Shemi, Chadana, and Torgalyg; in the Eastern Tannu-Ola, the Elegest, Ungesh, and Madzhegay are the chief tributaries. The northern slopes are covered by taiga woodland; steppe vegetation occurs on the southern slopes; and montane tundras are found at the higher elevations. The border between Russia and Mongolia is on or near the southern slopes.
