The Sundrun ( Russian: Сундрун) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) of the Russian Federation. It is 314 kilometres (195 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 4,170 square kilometres (1,610 sq mi). [1]
It has its sources in the Ulakhan-Sis Range and flows roughly northeastwards across the Kondakov Plateau. [2] Leaving the uplands, it crosses the Yana-Indigirka Lowland tundra, part of the greater East Siberian Lowland. It flows first in a roughly eastern and then, more than halfway through its course, in a northern direction. Its mouth is in the East Siberian Sea at the western end of the Kolyma Bay. [3] The Sundrun River freezes up in early October and remains icebound until June.
The main tributary of the Sundrun is the 235 km (146 mi) long Maly Khomus-Yuryakh (Малый Хомус-Юрях) from the right. [1]
The Kytalyk Wetlands, located between the Sundrun and the Khroma, are an ecologically important area, providing a favorable habitat for many rare animals. It is practically uninhabited and full of lakes and marshes. Siberian cranes are abundant in the Sundrun River wetlands. [4]
The lesser white-fronted goose, [5] Brent goose, Bewick's swan and the spectacled eider are also found in the Khroma-Sundrun Interfluvial Area. [6]
There is also a wild reindeer population in the Sundrun basin. [7]
The "Sundrun Kekurs" (Сундрунские кекуры) are the natural kigilyakh-type rock formations of the Ulakhan-Sis Range and Suor Uyata, located in the upper course of the river. [8]
