Gytgomkyvaam

Gytgomkyvaam is the Chukchi name for the lower Kanchalan River, meaning the river of bushes. The Kanchalan flows south from the Chukchi mountains across the Anadyr lowlands and enters the Anadyr estuary. Its wide mouth opens into waters frequented by beluga whales, while the banks and tributaries lead inland through tundra and low country beneath the long northern winter.
