Geography

Omuk-Kyuyol lies north of the Arctic circle, in the southwestern part of the Kolyma Lowland. It is located in an area of lakes between the basin of the Indigirka to the west and the Alazeya to the east. The main outflowing river is the Omuk-Kyuyol-Seen (Омук-Кюёль-Сээн), a small tributary of the 129 km (80 mi) long Bulgunnakhtaakh-Seene of the Alazeya basin. The lake begins to freeze in early October and stays under ice until early June.[2][3]
