Raucha

The Rauchua, also called the Bolshaya Baranikha, flows north through the uplands of western Chukotka to the East Siberian Sea. Its middle course winds between tundra hills, with gravel bars, shallow rapids and willow thickets along its channels. Farther north the river spreads into a low coastal landscape near Chaun Bay, where wetlands and islands meet the Arctic sea.
