Janraňaj

Janraňaj takes its Chukchi name from a solitary mountain near the shore of Chaun Bay. The bay opens northward into the East Siberian Sea, while rivers from the south enter its shallow waters. Tundra and hills surround this Arctic coast, where Chukchi communities have moved with reindeer through the seasons. The long winter brings snow and ice, followed by a brief summer of open ground.
