Tretya Rechka

The Tretya Rechka (Russian: Третья речка, literal translation: "third river") is a stream in the Beringovsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia. It is 99 kilometres (62 mi) long.[1] It drains part of the southern Anadyr Lowlands (very flat with wetlands and tundra). It flows northeast and then northwest into the Anadyr Estuary[2] (its mouth is the southernmost notch on the image on that page). To the east of the Tretya is the Avtatkuul zakaznik protected area. To the south is the Tumanskaya.
