Teply Klyuch

Teply Klyuch lies on the Eastern Khandyga, east of the Aldan valley in the foothills of the Verkhoyansk mountains. The river descends from the mountains toward the Tompo and the Aldan, linking the highland streams with the Lena basin. This is a land of sharply continental weather, with a long, intensely cold winter and a brief summer along the wooded valleys.
