The Olyokma (Russian : Олёкма , Olyokma , IPA: [ɐˈlʲɵkmə] ;[1] Yakut : Өлүөхүмэ , Ölüöxüme [1] ) is a tributary of the Lena in eastern Siberia .
The river gives its name to the Olyokma-Chara Plateau , located to the west of its western bank.[2]
History
[ edit ]
In the summer of 1631, Russian pioneer Pyotr Beketov entered the Olyokma during his first voyage down the Lena and in 1636 he founded the present-day city of Olyokminsk near the mouth of the river on the left bank of Lena.[3]
Yerofey Khabarov used this river's route to travel from the Lena to the Amur during his mid-17th century expeditions. In the spring of 1649 Khabarov set off at his own expense up the Olyokma, then up its tributary, the Tungir and portaged to the Shilka River , reaching the upper Amur (Dauria ) in early 1650.[1]
Course
[ edit ]
The river is 1,436 kilometres (892 mi ) long, and has a drainage basin of 210,000 square kilometres (81,000 sq mi ).[4] The Olyokma rises in the Muroy Range , Olyokma-Stanovik Highlands (Олёкминский Становик), west of Mogocha . It flows through remote terrain and cuts across the Kalar Range of the Stanovoy Highlands through a narrow valley. Further north, it bends around the eastern end of the Udokan Range and flows roughly north before joining the Lena near Olyokminsk .[5]
To the west flows the Vitim , to the south the Shilka and Amur, and to the east the upper Aldan . Its main tributaries are the Tungir , the Nyukzha and the Chara —with its tributary the Tokko .[3]
