Mouth of the Kyuelenke in the Lena Sentinel-2 image.
The sources of the Kyuelenke are north of the Polar Circle, on the eastern slopes of the Central Siberian Plateau. It heads in a roughly southeastern direction. Halfway through its course it turns and flows northeastwards across the Central Yakutian Lowland forming meanders in the floodplain. In its last stretch the river bends slightly and flows eastwards in an area of lakes and marshes. Finally it meets a channel of the left bank of the Lena, 620 kilometres (390 mi) from its mouth. Its confluence lies to the south of the mouth of the Muna.[2][3][4]
The Kyuelenke freezes in the first half of October and stays under ice until late May or early June.[4]
Tributariesedit
The main tributaries of the Kyuelenke are the 87 km (54 mi) long Orto-Kyuelenke and the 77 km (48 mi) long Syukeldzhen (Сюкэлдьэн), both joining it from the left.[1]
