Belaya River (Chukotka)

Belaya River (Chukotka)

The Belaya River ( _ru. Белая) is a left tributary of the Anadyr River in Far East Siberia. It flows roughly eastwards from its source and, about 40 km from the Arctic Circle it flows southwards. This river passes then through sparsely populated areas of Chukotka. The Belaya River meets the Anadyr 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.

Latitude: 66° 30' N, Longitude: 173° 25' E

A type of whitefish, Coregonus cylindraceus, is common in the waters of the Belaya River.

Ust-Belaya village lies at the confluence of the Belaya and Anadyr Rivers.
