Vukyl

The Vuktyl is a tributary of the Pechora in the forested country west of the northern Urals. Its name has been linked to an old Finno-Ugric word for a river, channel or portage, with a Komi element meaning a stream. The Pechora carries its waters northward through a wide basin to the Arctic sea. The forests and river valleys here belong to the northern landscape through which the Pechora and its many tributaries flow.
