The Lyapiske (Russian: Ляписке; Yakut: Лээпискэ, Leepiske), also known as Lepiske or Lyampushka (Russian: Лямпушка),[1] is a river in the Kobyaysky District of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is a tributary of the Lena, with a length of 299 kilometres (186 mi) and a drainage basin area of 10,300 square kilometres (4,000 sq mi).[2] There are no settlements in the area of the river.
The Lyapiske is a right tributary of the Lena. It flows across mountainous terrain all along its course. Its source is located on the western slopes of the Kelter Range, one of the subranges of the southwestern sector of the Verkhoyansk Range, at an altitude of roughly 1,245 m (4,085 ft). No trees grow on the slopes of the mountain range, only in the valleys. The Lyapiske flows northwestwards, flanking the northeastern side of the Tagindzhin Range in its upper course. Then, before the end of the range it bends southwestwards into a gorge, cutting across the Tagindzhin, the Muosuchan and the Bygyn ranges, after which it bends and flows southwards. A little upstream from its confluence with the Buruolakh, its main tributary, the Lyapiske bends sharply again and flows roughly westwards, cutting across the Kuturgin Range.
In its last stretch the Lyapiske flows at the northwestern limit of the Ust-Vilyuy Range where it makes two short sharp bends among high rocky shores. Finally it flows across a stretch of flat terrain at the edge of the Central Yakutian Lowland and joins the right bank of the Lena 1,057 km (657 mi) from its mouth. Its confluence with the Lena is close to the mouth of the Tympylykan on the opposite bank.[3][4]
Tributariesedit
The longest tributary of the Lyapiske is the 106 km (66 mi) long Buruolakh that joins it from the left. Other significant tributaries are Igelte, Tolbon, Muosuchan and Sygynkan.[1]
