Chantalveergyn River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chantalveergyn River (or Chantal'veyergyn River) is a stream located in Chukotka, in Far East Siberia. It flows roughly northwards through tundra regions from Central Chukotka into the Chukchi Sea in the area of Cape Vankarem. Its source is very close to the Arctic Circle.
Latitude: 67° 36' N Longitude: 178° 22' W
The Chantalveergyn River passes through sparsely populated areas. Winters in its area are long and bitter, so that its surface remains frozen for over eight months every year. Salmon, whitefish, vendace, grayling, rainbow herring, pike, burbot, bull trout and loach are common in its waters.
This river and its whole basin belong to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug administrative region of Russia.
