Tumat

Tumat lies on the Chondon, a river that flows north across the Yana–Indigirka lowland to the Laptev Sea. The place takes its name from the Tumat clan. Lakes and marshes spread across the low country around the river, whose channel winds through the tundra. Snow and rain feed the Chondon, which freezes in autumn and remains under ice until the following summer approaches.
