Ölöökö Küöl

Ölöökö Küöl lies on the Kolyma Lowland west of Lake Omuk-Kyuel. The lake drains into the Alazeya basin and remains frozen from autumn into early summer. Local tradition recalls Even people, called omuks here, living in this lake country; the name Omuk-Kyuel preserves that association. Forested shores and numerous lakes mark the northern plain.
