Talovka

The Talovka flows through the Parapolsky lowland toward Penzhina Bay, between the Koryak highlands and the Penzhina Range. Its basin is a mosaic of rivers, marshes and lakes, including Lake Talovskoye. In summer salmon ascend from the Sea of Okhotsk to spawn, and waterbirds gather across the wetlands. The flat, open country contrasts with the mountain ridges that enclose it.
