The Lena River

Lena River is the chief waterway of a large district of eastern Siberia. The river rises on the slopes of the Baikal Mountains and flows northeast for 2,734 miles. It empties into the Artic Ocean through the Laptev Sea. The river's delta is about 250 miles wide. Ships can sail up the river for about 2,000 miles.

The Lena River drains an area of about 1 million square miles, which is nearly one-third the size of Canada. Its chief branches are the Vitim, Olekma, Aldan, and Vilyuy rivers. Gold is mined along the Vitim and the Aldan.

Along its middle course, the Lena River flows through a region that is inhabited by the Yakuyts, a Turkic people. The Yakuts make their living by fishing, farming, and raising livestock. The largest city on the river is Yakutsk.
