Yugranskaya Ob

The Yuganskaya Ob is a long left-hand channel of the Ob in western Siberia. It stretches for about 195 kilometres across the broad floodplain and receives the Bolshoy Yugan, which rises far to the south in the Vasyugan bogs. During the spring flood, numerous smaller channels connect the Yuganskaya Ob with the main river. Forests, islands and waterlogged ground lie along this shifting network of watercourses.
