Ulaxan Ñimniir

The Bolshoy Nimnyr flows through the Aldan Highlands to join the Aldan from the right. Its headwaters are formed by the Khangas and Unga Nimgerkan, while its course passes forested hills, lakes and stretches of rapids. Like other rivers of this cold northern country, it is bound by ice for much of the year, opening again as the long winter gives way to spring.
