Kündeede

Kyundyade lies on the right bank of the Vilyuy in western Yakutia, southwest of Nyurba. The Vilyuy crosses a broad forested interior before turning east toward the Lena, whose waters eventually reach the Laptev Sea. Islands, channels and lakes accompany the river through its lowland valley. Winter brings months of ice, while the short summer opens the waterway between communities along its banks.
