Konchalyt

Konchalyt is a name recorded for sedentary Chukchi people of the Kanchalan River country, north of the Anadyr estuary. Their name was later applied to the river itself. The Kanchalan crosses a low landscape of lakes and shrubs before reaching the broad tidal waters of the Anadyr basin. On seventeenth- and eighteenth-century maps the river appeared under the Russian name Nerpichya, a reminder of the different names carried by this northern waterway.

The later city of Anadyr lies nearby.
