The Dzhugdzhur (Russian: Джугджу́р) or Jugjur, meaning "big bulge" in Evenki[citation needed], are a mountain range along the western shores of the Sea of Okhotsk in the far east of Siberia.
The mountains are quite deserted, the one exception being the gold mines that have operated in the range since the 1920s.
