Today I will tell you and show you what it looks like Lena River sturgeon from the port city of Ust-Kut (w / train station Lena) to the capital of the Republic of Sakha Yakutsk.
The Lena River in eastern Siberia, the largest, has its origins in the Irkutsk region and flows into the Laptev Sea, far above the Arctic Circle. The river is 4,500 km. Navigable part of the river the large size of the fleet – 3620 km, that is, to Ust-Kut, then works a little dimensional fleet.
Navigation Lena takes place in two stages.
Phase 1: delivery of cargo to the small rivers of Yakutia (Viluy, Aldan, Amga, etc.)
Step 2: delivery of cargo to the Arctic coast of Hatangi to Pevek.
Virtually all cargo should be from different parts of the country in Ust-Kut, from there transshipped to the court and sent to customers in remote corners of eastern Siberia. The upper reaches of the Lena tankers for river-sea class is available only at the beginning of navigation, on average, by mid-June, the river after the flood shoal and is available only for small boats class river / lake.
At the beginning of class vessels navigating the river / sea alone were loaded in Ust-Kut and followed down (up map of the country) on the river. Most of the cargo is sent to the capital of Yakutia, Yakutsk, located on the 1640th kilometer of the river Lena.
Zero Mile River Lena is on the Bulls Cape – Cape separating the river from the Laptev Sea (Arctic Ocean). Consequently, Ust-Kut is located in the 3620 kilometers from the Arctic Ocean, and Yakutsk 1,640 kilometers.
This year we have delivered the goods only to Yakutsk on Zhatayskuyu tank farm. Unfortunately the policy of the country is still detrimental to the north of the country, every year people are less and less people are trying to move at least in the major cities – Yakutsk, Mirny, Lensk. Accordingly, the reduced need for products and fuels. Cargo turnover is decreasing every year for small settlements and increases for the regional centers.
This year I did not get any on Viluy nor Aldan due to lower deliveries neftenaliva. Life is changing for the worse, but nature still surprises and delights. How much more do I need to stay in these parts, that would finally enjoy a truly amazing and magical beauty of nature in East Siberia.
So much for the politics, let’s talk about pleasant – about nature, in the words to tell pretty hard, take the hands of canon and went from Ust-Kut to Yakutsk. Sam Ust-Kut pictures do not see any sense, an ordinary provincial town, with the usual river port berths and storage facilities. But with the 3550-kilometer begin painting of great beauty.
A narrow roll. Verxniy Ubiennuy 3550 km. It is worth noting the width of the river about two hundred meters – three, 121 meter long vessel, a little mistake and we’re on the shore, so the management takes quite a stressful environment.
From the bridge wheelhouse it looks approximately like this:
With a speed of 18 – 20 kilometers per hour (note for such a narrow river, and for this size of boat speed more than decent, strong currents sometimes forced to transfer to smaller engines operating modes) follow downstream (up the map of the country).

Village Tayura 3545 km
In the Lena River flows into a number of small mountain rivers, supplying clean water, resulting in approximately 1,500 km river reaches a width of 25-30 km.
Mouth of the river Tayura 3546 kilometer
Abandoned village of Tyre 3467 km
Village Ulkan 3459 km

1988 km mountain Kyys-hai (Davachya Mountain)
In Olekminsk in Lena river flows into another fairly large river Olekma in Olekminsk on the bottom of the Lena River passes the “Putin pipeline” Talakan – Far East. More special interest then and there, conventional banks. But starting from 1835 miles begins “Lena Pillars” – amazing cliffs, it is very difficult for them to tell their best show.
here is a natural invention Arts. The name she had not, but very fit, “Welcome to Yakutia”
in May in the Far East are raging fires, acrid smoke covers large areas, like this look “Lena Pillars” during fires
… and that’s how “Lena Pillars” looks into the normal weather
“Lena Pillars” towering over the river from 1835-km to 1805, exactly 30 kilometers. To Yakutsk 160 kilometers, the river does not look like, well, the one in the Irkutsk region. Many islands, shoals. But sunsets are the same exciting and always different.

It looks like a river of Ust-Kut to Yakutsk. Closer to August, and I’ll show you what it looks like river-Beauty from Yakutsk to Tiksi (the Laptev Sea, the Arctic Ocean).
