Timkino

Timkino lies near the mouth of the Timkinskaya, where its waters reach the lower Kolyma. Here the great river crosses the northern lowlands on its way to the East Siberian Sea, among channels and lakes that are flooded as the water rises. The lower Kolyma is rich in whitefish, and the stretch around Timkino and Yermolovo provides spawning grounds for vendace.
