Ugolney

Ugolney lies in the Yasachnaya basin west of the Kolyma, among the forests and river valleys of northeastern Yakutia. The Yasachnaya flows east to join the Kolyma, gathering tributaries from a wide area of highland and taiga. Beneath this country lie coal-bearing formations, while on the surface the rivers and their wooded banks form part of the traditional lands of the forest Yukaghirs.
