Kyhyl Siir

Kyhyl Siir, whose Sakha name means “Red Hill”, lies in the Ensieli valley on the left bank of the Lena. Lakes occupy terraces above the river, including Uluu Küöl and Khara Bylyt. This is a land of sharp contrasts between the deep cold of winter and the warmth of its brief summer, in the heart of the Central Yakutian Lowland.
