Batamay

Batamay lies on the Lena below its confluence with the Aldan, where two of eastern Siberia's great rivers meet. The Lena enters the central Yakutian lowland here, spreading through a broad valley with islands and channels. Rivers descending from the Verkhoyansk mountains, including the Batamay and Tumara, join the larger waterways from the north. Forest and floodplain vegetation border a river system that connects the interior to the Arctic.
