Naaxara

Nakhara belongs to the valley of the Nyuya, a western tributary of the Lena in the forest country of the Siberian plateau. The settlement of Orto-Nakhara stands on the river, whose course runs generally eastward before joining the Lena. The Nyuya winds across low ground with a marshy floodplain and many lakes. Long winter ice gives way to high water in spring, when the river rises across its banks.
