Varchaty

Varchaty is a lake in the Voikar basin, east of the Polar Urals. The Tanyu enters from the north, and the Varchatyvis carries water out toward the Voikar, which ultimately joins the Ob. The lake lies among the rivers, forests and wetlands of the northern Ural foothills. Ice covers its waters through the long winter, while the brief thaw opens the connected waterways.
