Yeropol River

The Yeropol rises in the Oloy Range and flows through the mountains of Chukotka to meet the Anadyr from the right. In its lower course the river divides into several branches as it enters a plain between the ranges. Its name is of Yukaghir origin, and Russian explorers knew the waterway by the seventeenth century. The river and its tributaries remain frozen for eight or nine months each year.
