Otrozhny

Otrozhny lies on the Mavrina River in the spurs of the Ust-Belaya mountains, west of the lower Anadyr. The streams of these uplands descend toward the Anadyr basin, where river channels and lakes spread across the wide lowland. Snow and ice dominate much of the year in this northern country, and the brief summer exposes the tundra and riverbanks beneath them.
