How long are the Ural Mountains from north to south?

The Ural Mountains extend approximately 1,550 miles (2,500 km) from the bend of the Ural River in the south to the Pay-Khoy Ridge in the north.1

While the mountains themselves form this 1,550-mile spine, the broader Uralian orogenic belt—which includes extensions such as the Pay-Khoy Ridge and reaches toward Novaya Zemlya—stretches a total of 2,175 miles (3,500 km) from the Aral Sea to the northernmost tip of the archipelago.12
