The Ichera (Russian: Ичера or Ичёра) is a river in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia. It is a tributary of the Lena with a length of 138km (86miles) and a drainage basin area of 4501km2.

Course

The Ichera is a left tributary of the Lena. It is formed in the western part of the Lena Plateau. The river heads in a roughly southeastern direction across a taiga area. Finally it meets the Lena 2973km (1,847miles) from its mouth, 77km (48miles) downstream from the mouth of the Pilyuda.[2] [1]

The largest tributaries of the Ichera are the 78km (48miles) long Maly Rassokha, the 66km (41miles) long Demyanka and the 48km (30miles) long Turpa that join it from the left, as well as the 72km (45miles) long Levaya Rassokha from the right. The river freezes yearly between October and May.
