Belaya River (Chukotka)
Encyclopedia
The Belaya River is a south-flowing tributary of the Anadyr River
in far northeast Siberia. It is formed by the juncture of the Enmyvaam River, which drains Lake Elgygytgyn, from the northwest and the Yurukuveem River, whose major tributary is the Bolshaya Osinovaya, from the north. Its basin is 44,700 square km and its length is 487km (Belaya plus Yurukuveem). This river passes through sparsely populated areas of Chukotka
. The Belaya River meets the Anadyr River
more than 300 km away from its mouth in the mid-lower stretch of its course. Below the confluence with the Belaya, the Anadyr separates into multiple smaller channels upriver from where the Tanyurer River
meets it. All these rivers are frozen for about eight to nine months in a year.
The whole basin of the Belaya River and its tributaries belong to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
administrative region of Russia
