footnotes =The Gurvansaikhan Mountains ( _mn. Гурбансайхан, "three beauties") are a mountain range in the Ömnögovi Province of southern Mongolia. They are named for three subranges: Baruun Saikhanii Nuruu (the "Western Beauty"), Dund Saikhanii Nuruu (the "Middle Beauty") and Zuun Saikhanii Nuruu (the "Eastern Beauty").The highest peak is found in Dund Saikhanii Nuruu, and is 9,268 feet (2,825 meters) above sea level. A notable gorge, Yolyn Am, is found in Zuun Saikhanii Nuruu. Though the range is surrounded by the Gobi desert, Yoliin Am contains a semi-permanent ice field.

The range forms the eastern half of the Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park.
