Komsa

Komsa stands on the left bank of the Yenisei, opposite an island of the same name and downstream from the mouth of the Podkamennaya Tunguska. It was known in the eighteenth century as the Komsa winter station; a local account dates it to 1764 and names the Cossacks Andrey Krasnopeyev and Yakov Yarkov as its founders. The settlement took its name from the Komsa, a forest river flowing into the Yenisei.
