Tumanskaya

The Tumanskaya forms where two rivers descending from the northern Koryak highlands meet. It flows through the southern Anadyr lowlands to Tymna Lagoon, separated from the Gulf of Anadyr by a long spit. Its floodplain provides nesting grounds for gulls, Arctic terns, ducks and waders, while fish inhabit the river and its tributaries. Snow and ice cover the basin during the long winter.
