Vasyugan

The Vasyugan rises among the vast bogs of the Ob–Irtysh divide and flows for more than a thousand kilometres across the West Siberian Plain to the Ob. Its basin is heavily waterlogged and its course winds through the taiga. Downstream the river broadens, with channels, lakes, shoals and shallows spread across its floodplain. The river gives its name to the surrounding Vasyugan wetlands, one of the great peatland landscapes of Siberia.
