Tumyat

Tumyat lies in the country of the lower Olenyok, near the junction of that river and the Kelimyar. The latter rises on the Chekanovsky Ridge between the Olenyok and Lena basins. Below their meeting, the Olenyok continues north toward its delta and the Laptev Sea. The wide river valley passes through Arctic terrain where ice covers the waterways through much of the year.
