Tiit Arii

Tit-Ary stands on the left bank of the Lena, opposite a wooded island in the river. The great waterway passes through forest and cliffs on its course toward central Yakutia. A postal station was established here in 1743 along the route between Vitim and Yakutsk. Travellers used boats in summer, horses on the banks or mountain road when necessary, and the frozen river itself in winter.
