Merging, the Left and Right Yana form a small water stream, located in one of the regions of Russia. Its mouth is the Sea of Okhotsk, and an important tributary is the Seimkan. The Yana River is located in the Magadan region, in the northeast of the state. There are suggestions that the name comes from the nearby village of Yana.
In the place where the water flow flows into the Sea of Okhotsk, the village of Tauisk, founded several centuries ago, in 1652, is located. By right, this settlement is considered one of the oldest in the region. Its border is the Yana River. The Magadan region, in which it is located, is rich in brown bears. Siberian salamanders are also found here. Birds such as the snipe and the long-toed sandpiper can often be spotted.
Yana, located in the Magadan region, should not be confused with the Yakut water stream of the same name, which will be discussed later.
Geography of the water flow
The Yana River in Yakutia occupies 872 km. The area of its basin is 238 thousand square meters. km. Its mouth is the Laptev Sea. Formed at a pointthe confluence of the rivers that flow from the Verkhoyansk Range, Dulgalakh and Sartang. In some areas, the river delta can expand up to 10 km. It has many ducts. The main one is Samandon, which even has its own delta. Flowing through the Yano-Indigirskaya lowland, it is divided into branches. There are more than 30 thousand lakes in the river basin, different in size.
Hydrology
The Yana River is fed by rain and snow. In the middle reaches, the water level in the stream is 9 m, while in the lower reaches this figure rises to 12 m. Glaciation occurs in October, while the Yana freezes first in the upper reaches, and then this process reaches the mouth. Opens in May or June. Near a settlement called Verkhnoyansk, water freezes for 110 days.
Tributaries
The Yana River has a lot of tributaries, but the most important among all are:
Poke. Formed at an altitude of about 300 m. Length - 241 km, pool - 5000 square meters. km. There are no settlements on this part of the river
Bytantai. The source is located near the Verkhoyansk Range. The length of the river is 586 km, while the basin occupies 40 thousand square meters. km. The main food is provided by melt and rainwater
Bucky. Flows in the Verkhoyansk region. It starts on the Kular ridge. The length of Baki reaches 172 km, the basin is 3020 sq. km
Adycha. The length exceeds 700 km. The source is located on the slope of the Chersky Range. It flows in the Vekhoyansky and Tomponsky districts. The food of Adycha is snow and rain
-
Olde (or Oljo). Like the resttributaries, flows in the Verkhnoyask region, and also has snow and rain supply. The channel is winding in some areas of the river. The length of the water flow is 330 km. It starts in the Hadaranya ridge in the lake of the same name.
Abyrabyt. Formed by the merger of Semeyke and Badiai. The river occupies only 120 km. It is covered with ice in the middle of autumn, opens in May. Food is dominated by rain and snow
Relief and soil
The Yana River at its source has a mountain-taiga relief. Not far away, in Ust-Yansk, there is the Yano-Indigirskaya lowland. There are many branches here, and the channel is too winding. The valley is quite deep and wide. In the area where its size reaches 10 km, the water flow is divided into channels. Thresholds can only meet in the channel.
On the territory of Yana there are permafrost alluvial soils. Clay species can be found in some areas.
Flora and fauna of the Yana River
In this area, species of animals are very common, which are typical for such zones as forest-tundra and tundra. You can also see some plants that are listed in the Red Book of Yakutia. Birch, cayander, willow, aspen, dwarf, hawthorn, tollya, sedge grow here. Raspberries, rose hips, princesses, lingonberries, coltsfoot, snowdrop, blueberries are also often found. The most common fish species are bream, sterlet, pike, zander, roach, sid, perch and others.
Localities
There are numerous people on the banks of the Yana Riverpoints. This is the port of Nizhneyansk, the cities of Verkhoyansk, Ust-Kuyga, Batagai.
Verkhoyansk. It is the northernmost city in Yakutia. The population for 2015 is 1150 people. In terms of the number of people living, it is one of the smallest settlements. It is also considered the coldest city in the world. Interestingly, in 1892, a temperature of 67 degrees below zero was recorded here
Ust-Kuyga. The Ust-Kuyga urban-type settlement is located in Yakutia, in the Ust-Yansky ulus. There is an airport, a transshipment warehouse for some areas
Batagai. The Yana River, namely its right bank, departed Batagay urban-type settlement. It is the administrative center of its region. Here is a continental climate that affects the standard of living of people
Port of Nizhneyansk. Located at the mouth of the river, in the city of the same name Nizhneyansk, which is the main transport center
On the Batagai-Verkhoyansk section, the river is considered navigable, but only during floods. From the mouth, for 730 km, it is quite suitable for barges and ferries. Many crossings have been built on the Yana, but their work may be suspended due to certain climatic conditions that can completely paralyze the process.
