Ozero Mogotoyevo

Mogotoyevo is a large coastal lake on the northern Yana–Indigirka Lowland. The Melkaya channel connects it with the East Siberian Sea, allowing water to move in both directions. The Vorontsova and Bolshaya Melkaya rivers feed the lake, whose low shores bear tundra and sparse larch woodland. Omul, nelma and vendace inhabit its waters, which freeze from autumn until summer.
