Vilyuychan

The Vilyuychan flows through the wooded country of western Yakutia to join the Vilyuy from the right. Its mouth lies below Khordogoy, almost opposite the entrance of the Agdary. The larger river continues through the great Suntar bend and eastward to the Lena. Lakes, streams and forest fill the surrounding lowlands, where the long winter freezes the water and the summer thaw is brief.
