Caarxan

Zharkhan lies on the left bank of the Chara near Tokko, in the forested south of Yakutia. The Chara runs through mountain country before meeting the Olyokma, which carries its waters northward to the Lena. Forest and river valleys surround this meeting of waterways, linking the southern uplands with the great Lena basin. Winter ice and a brief summer shape travel along the rivers.
