The Anabar Bay ( Russian Анабарский залив , Anabarski Zaliw) is north of Siberia and Russia ( Asia ) situated Gulf of the Arctic Ocean belonging Laptev Sea and contains in its southwestern part of the Anabarbucht ( Анабарский Губа , Anabarski Guba) mentioned estuary (estuary) of river Anabar , a stream of the North Siberian lowlands .
Geographical location
The Anabar Gulf is located in the southwestern part of the Arctic Laptev Sea and borders in the west and south on the mainland of the north-east Russian Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). To the north and northeast it merges seamlessly into the actual Laptev Sea. South of the gulf lies the eastern part of the North Siberian lowlands with the mountain range of the Prontschishchev ridge and the estuary of the Pestschanaja as the eastern end of the gulf. To the west the narrow and elongated forwards Nordwikhalbinsel to the other side of it located Nordwikbucht over. To the north of the peninsula, at the northern end of which Cape Paksa lies as the north-western end of the gulf, the Vostochny Strait leading west into the Chatanga Gulf leads over to the Greater Begichev Island .
The sea gulf, which extends into the mainland for about 67 km, is 76 km wide at its opening to the Laptev Sea and 7 to 9 km wide at the transition to Anabar Bay. At its transition to Lake Laptev, the otherwise 3 to 12 m deep gulf is around 17 to 20 m deep. The hills on the south coast of the gulf are a maximum of 57 m high in the direct vicinity of the sea and those on its west coast reach a height of 55 m in the extreme north of the north wik peninsula .
Flora, climate and ice
In the hinterland of the vegetation-free coasts of Anabar Gulf, tundra with mosses and lichens predominate, with frost rubble deserts extending to the beaches. The winters are long and extremely cold, the summers short and cold. The Gulf is covered in ice from around October to July . When ice and snow melt in summer , the Anabar often drives floods through the Anabar Bay into the Gulf.
