The Nether-Polar Ural are higher, and up to 150 km (93 mi) wider than the Polar Urals.
They include the highest peaks of the range: Mount Narodnaya (1,895 m (6,217 ft)), Mount Karpinsky (1,878 m (6,161 ft)) and Manaraga (1,662 m (5,453 ft)).
They extend for more than 225 km (140 mi) south to the Shchugor.
The many ridges are sawtooth shaped and dissected by river valleys.
Both Polar and Nether-Polar Urals are typically Alpine; they bear traces of Pleistocene glaciation, along with permafrost and extensive modern glaciation, including 143 extant glaciers.
