Chuvan Upplands

East of Lake El'gygytgyn, the Chuvan highlands give way to the valleys feeding the Anadyr River. The river gathers streams from the mountainous interior before reaching the broad lowlands that open toward the Bering Sea. Tundra and bare ridges surround its headwaters, and long winters freeze the streams. Summer snowmelt and rain swell them on their course through the uplands.
