Kichera

The Kichera flows through the northern Baikal basin to enter the lake alongside the Upper Angara. Together the rivers feed the shallow Angarsky Sor, separated from the deeper lake by narrow sandy spits and islands. The Kichera's valley widens below its lakes, and streams descend to it from the surrounding highlands. Marshes and channels spread across the river mouth, a meeting place of mountain water and the great lake.
