Cargaalaax

Dzhargalakh lies on the left side of the Bytantay valley in the central Verkhoyansk mountains. The river descends through a country of forested slopes and high ridges, then joins the Yana farther north. Beyond the Arctic Circle, the valley experiences a long, cold winter and a brief summer. Its waters ultimately reach the Laptev Sea through the broad lower course of the Yana.
