Makarixa

Makarikha is a local name for the Makarovka River in the forested country west of the Lena. Its valley lies among the rivers of the Central Siberian Plateau, a landscape of taiga and deeply cut waterways. The Lena and Lower Tunguska rise relatively close together on this upland before flowing towards different northern seas. Long winters freeze the streams and the ground beneath the coniferous forest.
