Eyekit

Chekurovka lies on the lower Lena, north of Kyusyur and upstream from the river's vast Arctic delta. Here the Lena flows between the northern mountains and a broad floodplain, dividing into channels among wetlands and lakes. The river carries the waters of an immense Siberian basin to the Laptev Sea. Ice binds the valley through the long winter, and the short summer brings open water to its many channels.
