Alazeya River

The Alazeya River ( _ru. Алазея) is a river in the northeastern part of Yakutia, Russia crossing through the tundra. The length of the river is 1,590 km. The area of its basin is 64,700 km² and is full of lakes and marshes.

The Alazeya is formed by the confluence of the Nelkan and Kadylchan Rivers and drains into the Kolyma Bay of the East Siberian Sea, close to Logashkino. It freezes up in late September - early October and stays icebound until late May - early June. The biggest tributary of the Alazeya is the Rossokha River.

There are more than 24,000 lakes in the basin of the Alazeya River.
