Tinnaya

Tinnaya lies on the left bank of the Lena downstream from the Nyuya, in the forested country of western Yakutia. Here the great river flows between high valley sides and divides around islands. Near Tinnaya a long island separates the water into two channels, while the rocky bank rises beside the river. The middle Lena remains frozen through the long winter and carries the spring thaw northward towards the Arctic.
