Nyerpicha

Nyerpicha is an older name for the Kanchalan, a river that crosses the Anadyr lowlands to the Bering Sea. Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century maps recorded the river under this name. Its banks were inhabited by a settled community known as the Konchalyt, whose name became associated with the river and settlement. At the mouth, fresh water enters the great Anadyr estuary, a meeting place of river and sea.
