Emanda ([2] or Эманджа, Yakut: Эмандьа, Emanca) is a freshwater lake in Tomponsky District, Sakha Republic, Russia. The lake is located in a desolate area where there is no permanent population and few visitors. There are burbot, pike and grayling in its waters.
The lake lies at 678m (2,224feet) above mean sea level in the basin of the Derbeke River, part of the Yana basin.[3] It is located to the east of the river, roughly 50km (30miles) to the south of the Nelgesin Range. Lake Emanda is the largest lake of the Yana Plateau.[4]
The Seen River (Сеен), a right hand tributary of the Derbeke, is the outflow of the lake.[3]
The minimum temperature of -58.6 °C (-73.5 °F)[5] recorded on December 5, 2023 in Emanda, being the lowest December temperature in 40 years, according to weather historian Thierry Goose.[6]
