Urasalaax

Urasalakh lies in the Omoloy basin among the northern ridges of the Kular mountain country. The Omoloy flows north along the range before crossing the coastal lowland and entering Buor-Khaya Gulf on the Laptev Sea. Streams descend from the hills into its extensive drainage network. Here the long Arctic winter locks rivers in ice, while spring melt brings a brief and powerful flood.
