Yeropol

Yeropol lies in the interior of the Anadyr basin, a land of river valleys and mountains in northeastern Siberia. The river of the same name descends from the Oloy Range to join the Anadyr. Its name comes from the Yukaghir language, and the surrounding country was used by Chuvan reindeer herders even after many other Chuvans left the Anadyr in the upheavals of the eighteenth century.
