The Agayakan (ru|Агаякан; sah|Агайакаан) is a river in Oymyakonsky District, Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russian Federation, part of the Indigirka basin. It has a length of 160km (100miles) and a drainage basin area of 7630km2.
The river has its mouth near the abandoned village of Agayakan, located close to its final confluence.[1]
The Agayakan originates in the northern slopes of the Suntar-Khayata, not far from the source of the Yudoma. It heads roughly to the NNW and northwards across the Oymyakon Highlands. Finally the Agayakan meets the Suntar river, flowing from the west, to form the Kyuyente, a tributary of the Indigirka. The river is fed by snow and rain. It freezes in late September or early October and stays frozen until late May to early June.[2] [3] [4]
The main tributaries of the Agayakan are the 95km (59miles) long Neymechek, the 89km (55miles) long Tonskoy and the 85km (53miles) long Khongor on the left, as well as the 80km (50miles) long Ot-Khaya on the right. there are about 1,500 lakes in the Agayakan basin, with an estimated total area of 44km2.[4]
