Kubuy Lake

Lake Kubuy lies north of the Arctic Circle in the eastern part of the Yana delta. Its intricately lobed basin formed in thawing permafrost, among a multitude of lakes on the western Yana–Indigirka lowland. Several channels pass through the lake, and the Bolshoy Samandon carries water from it toward Asabyt Bay. Low shores border the fresh water, only a little above sea level.
