Pemboy Ridge

The Pemboy Ridge, also Pemboy Upland or Paemboy (Russian: Пембой, Паэмбой) is a small ridge in Komi Republic, Russia in the northern part of Polar Urals to the west of the Ochenyrd ridge.[1] It is a narrow slightly curved upland stretching for about 7 km from southwest to northeast and consisting of eight smaller ridges separated by ravines. The fifth one (from the southwest) is the highest and contains Mount Pemboy of height 420.8m.[2][3][4] On March 29, 1984 Mount Pemboy was declared geological natural monument of Komi Republic of zakaznik type.[5]

It is located beyond the Arctic Circle on the watershed of rivers Silovayakha and Khalmer'yu, 15km northwest of the ghost town Khalmer-Yu. On top of Mount Pemboy there are an observation tower and a helicopter pad. It is one of popular tourist attractions in Russian Arctic.[2]
