Kübeyingde

Kübeyingde takes its name from a lake in the forested northern reaches of the Vilyuy basin. The surrounding country has long been home to the Yugyulyat, a community with Evenki roots. Lakes and wooded land mark this part of central Yakutia, where winter is long and the warm season short. The Vilyuy and its tributaries drain the region eastward toward the Lena.
