Kudu Küöl

Kudu-Kyuyol lies on the left bank of the Olyokma, just below the mouth of the Atyrdyakh. The Olyokma flows north through the forested country of southern Yakutia to join the Lena. The place name may combine an Evenki word for a salt lick with the Sakha word for a lake. Rivers and wooded hills dominate this remote valley between the Lena Plateau and the Aldan uplands.
