Taymıliir

Taymylyr lies on the left bank of the lower Olenyok, beyond the Arctic Circle. The river continues north from here to its delta and the Laptev Sea, passing through a landscape of tundra and low hills. A tributary also bears the name Taymylyr. The Olenyok's waters support fish such as nelma and muksun, and the river freezes for much of the long northern winter.
