Kolyma River

The Kolyma is a major river of northeastern Siberia that flows north through the Sakha Republic and Magadan Oblast into the East Siberian Sea.

Kolyma Mountains: A mountain range in northeastern Siberia, forming part of the rugged region around the upper Kolyma basin. The river rises in mountains that channel its upper course toward the northeast.
River basin: The land area from which precipitation and streams drain toward a shared river outlet. The Kolyma’s basin gathers water from a vast part of northeastern Siberia.
Kolyma Highway: A federal road connecting Magadan with Yakutsk through northeastern Siberia. The highway parallels parts of the river corridor and links its remote settlements by land.
Kolyma: A historical and geographic region of northeastern Siberia centered on the Kolyma River and surrounding lands. The river gives its name to the wider region associated with mining and exile.
Kolyma Lowland: A broad, low-lying Arctic plain in northeastern Siberia, crossed by the lower Kolyma and its tributaries. This lowland surrounds the river’s lower course and spreads toward its delta.
Kolyma Reservoir: An artificial reservoir on the Kolyma River in Magadan Oblast, created by the Kolyma hydroelectric dam. The reservoir stores and regulates water within the river’s upper basin.
Debin: A settlement in Magadan Oblast near the Kolyma River and the Kolyma Highway. Debin is a river-side community on the region’s principal road route.
Dalstroy: A Soviet state organization that developed mining and infrastructure in the Kolyma region using forced labor. Dalstroy organized the camps and extractive economy that transformed the river region.
East Siberian Sea: A marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean lying between the Laptev Sea and the Chukchi Sea. The Kolyma empties into this Arctic sea through a broad delta.
Kolyma Hydroelectric Station: A hydroelectric power station on the Kolyma River near Sinegorye in Magadan Oblast. Its dam alters river flow and produces electricity from the Kolyma’s steep upper reaches.
