Kyhyl Ürüye

Kysyl-Yuryuyya lies on the right bank of the Lena south of Pokrovsk, in central Yakutia. The great river flows through forested country toward the lowlands farther north, gathering tributaries from both sides of its broad valley. Winter ice covers the river for months, while the short summer opens its channels. The Lena connects this inland country with the distant Arctic coast.
