Ozero Nerpinchye

Lake Nerpichye is a large freshwater lake on the Kolyma lowland, west of the river's delta. Formed in thawing permafrost, it stretches from southeast to northwest between low shores. Its only outlet, the Nerpichya channel, leads toward Lake Maloye Pokhodskoye. Muksun, vendace, broad whitefish, omul and nelma inhabit the lake, which lies among the extensive waters of the Arctic lowlands.
