Os'kino

Oskino stands on the Lower Tunguska, in the remote forest country of the Central Siberian Plateau. The river is the largest right-bank tributary of the Yenisei and winds through broad valleys in its upper course. Snowmelt brings a powerful spring flood, while the long northern winter closes the river with ice. Farther downstream, the Tunguska cuts through rock in narrow gorges and rapids on its way to the Yenisei.
