Debin

Debin lies beside the Kolyma near the mouth of a river of the same name. The Debin descends through the uplands to join the greater river, which winds northward through the interior of northeastern Siberia. Its name has been linked to a Sakha word for a reddish or rusty colour. Forested slopes and tributary valleys frame this stretch of the Kolyma, where winters are long and cold.
