Sayyliik

Sayylyk, also known as Khorula, lies in the forested interior north of the Vilyuy in western Yakutia. A lake occupies the centre of the locality, surrounded by the lowlands and woodland of the Vilyuy basin. The great river flows eastward to join the Lena, carrying the waters of this extensive inland country toward the Arctic. Long winter ice gives way to a brief northern summer.
