Yert

Yert lies beside the Khar-Balagan, a tributary of the Chyra in central Yakutia. Forest and waterways cross the country west of the Lena, where permafrost underlies much of the landscape. Winter is long and cold, while the short summer brings flowing water and growth to the valleys. The rivers of this region form part of the extensive network draining the Siberian interior toward the Arctic.
