Artyk

The Artyk rises on the western slopes of the Ulakhan-Chistay range, high in the mountains of northeastern Yakutia. It flows into the Nera from the right, adding its waters to the upper Indigirka basin. Mountain ridges enclose the valley, while the severe climate and long winters mark this inland region. The Nera carries the river's waters onward to the Indigirka and eventually the Arctic Ocean.
