Kühüür

Kyusyur stands on the right bank of the lower Lena, near the approach to the immense delta through which the river reaches the Laptev Sea. The Verkhoyansk mountains border the river to the east, while a wide floodplain with channels, marshes and lakes spreads along the opposite bank. Far from its headwaters near Lake Baikal, the Lena has gathered the waters of a vast Siberian basin by the time it reaches this northern valley.
