Shuryshkar

Shuryshkar lies beside the Malaya Ob, the western branch of the lower Ob, in a landscape of floodplain lakes and channels. Nearby, the site known as Belaya Gora preserves traces of an older settlement that may date to the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. Khanty communities have long lived along these waters, where seasonal flooding and the movement of fish shape the rhythm of river life.
