Ust'-Ozernoye

Ust-Ozernoye lies near the mouth of the Ozernaya, where it joins the Ket in the forest lowlands of western Siberia. It is a historic settlement of the southern Selkup people, also known by the Selkup names Kyn Tabu and Kyndabu. Traditionally dated to 1726, the settlement was once called the Ust-Ozernye yurts. The Ket and its tributaries formed the waterways of a region of taiga, lakes and wetlands.
