The northernmost Polar Urals extend some 240 miles from Mount Konstantinov Kamen in the northeast to the Khulga River in the southeast; most mountains rise to 3,3003,600 feet (1,0001,100 metres) above sea level, although the highest peak, Mount Payer, reaches 4,829 feet. Farther south come the Northern Urals, which stretch for more than 340 miles to the Usa River in the south; most mountains top 3,300 feet, and the highest peak, Mount Telpos-Iz, rises to 5,305 feet. The last portion, the Southern Urals, extends some 340 miles to the westward bend of the Ural River and consists of several parallel ridges rising to 3,900 feet and culminating in Mount Yamantau, 5,380 feet; the section terminates in the wide uplands (less than 2,000 feet) of the Mughalzhar Hills. mount river
