Krasnyano

Krasnyano is an old name for Lake Krasnoye in the lower Anadyr basin. Channels link this large lake to the Anadyr River, and its shores are backed by reddish and brown rocks. Fish made the lake an important place for the peoples of the region, while birch and poplar growing near the streams provided wood for sledges. The surrounding lowland lies under snow and ice for much of the year.
