Xani

The Khani rises on the southeastern slopes of the Udokan Range and flows eastward through the mountain country to join the Olyokma from the left. Forested ridges and river valleys divide this southern part of the Lena basin. The Olyokma carries the Khani's waters north to the Lena and ultimately the Arctic Ocean. Long winter cold and the brief summer shape the life of these mountain rivers.
