Olenyok River in Russian | Siberian longest River Russia | Explained | InsightfulLensTv


Description

The Olenyok is a major river in northern Siberian Russia, west of the lower Lena and east of the Anabar. It is 2,292 kilometres (1,424 mi) long, of which around 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) is navigable. Average water discharge is 1,210 cubic metres per second (43,000 cu ft/s)
The Olenyok is known for its abundance in fish. It is frozen for over eight months every year and the climate in its area is harsh because of the direct influence of the Arctic.
In 1633 Ivan Rebrov reached the Olenyok from the Lena delta and built a fort. In 1642 to 44 Rebrov and Fedot Alekseyev Popov reached the river but were driven out by the natives.
Pioneering Russian Arctic explorer Vasili Pronchishchev and his wife Tatiana (Maria) died of scurvy in the area of the river in September 1736 while mapping the coasts of the Laptev Sea. After their deaths, husband and wife were interred at Ust Olenyok near the mouth of the Olenyok. Their tomb was moved after the bodies were exhumed in 1999.
In 1956 the Olenekian Age of the Triassic Period of geological time was named for rock strata in the Olenyok area.
