Alymdya
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Alymdya (o, Yakut), is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a right hand tributary of the Akhtaranda, part of the Vilyuy basin. The river is 227 kilometres (141 mi) long and has a drainage basin of 5,310 square kilometres (2, 050 mi2). The Alymdya flows across an uninhabited sector of Mirninsky District.
The Alymdya belongs to the upper stretch of the Vilyuy basin. It originates in the southeastern Vilyuy Plateau. The river heads roughly southeastwards and then southwards, crossing a cluster of small lakes and swamps. Then it turns southeastwards again and keeps roughly that direction until its mouth at the confluence with the 191 km (119 mi) long Olguydakh from the left to form the Akhtaranda, 75 km (47 mi) from its mouth in the Vilyuy Reservoir.
The main tributaries of the Alymdya are the 50 kilometres (31 mi) long Kurakkalyr from the right and the 66 kilometres (41 mi) long Alymdya-Tuorata from the left. The river freezes in mid October and stays under ice until the second half of May.
