Bely Iyus River

Bely Iyus ( _ru. Белый Июс – "White Iyus") is a river in the republic of Khakassia in Russia. It is a right tributary of the Chulym River, and is 224 km long, with a drainage basin of 5370 km².

The Bely Iyus has its sources on the eastern of the Kuznetsky Alatau, at an elevation of 712 m. At the village of Maly Syutik it joins the Chorny Iyus (or "Black Iyus"), the left tributary of the Chulym. The Chulym together with the Bely Iyus is 2023 km in length, and is thus one of Siberias main rivers.
