Cherkekh

Cherkekh belongs to the Tatta country of central Yakutia, east of the Lena. The Tatta winds north through a landscape of lakes, meadow clearings and forest before joining the Aldan. In this severe climate, Sakha communities made use of grassy alases amid the woods for their cattle and horses. The river and its tributaries gather water from the broad lowland between the Lena and Aldan.
