Ñaayba

Nayba lies by Yara-Ulay Bay on the Arctic coast east of the Lena delta. The waters here belong to the great Buor-Khaya Gulf of the Laptev Sea, between the Lena and the country of the Omoloy. Tundra, river mouths and coastal waters meet in a region icebound for much of the year. The short summer opens a narrow season for travel along the northern shore.
