Okhosk Coast

West of Okhotsk, the Ulya and Urak rivers flow from the mountainous interior to the Sea of Okhotsk. Lagoons lie behind the coastal barriers at river mouths, while forested valleys lead inland toward the Dzhugdzhur range. In 1639 Ivan Moskvitin's party reached the mouth of the Ulya, bringing Russian travellers to this shore of the Pacific.
