The Small Kuonamka ( Russian Малая Куонамка , Malaya Kuonamka) or Small Kuonapka ( Малая Куонапка ; Malaya Kuonapka), an about 457 km long, south or right tributary of the Anabar in the northwest of the Republic of Sakha and in the north of Siberia and Russia ( Asia ). Often - because the upper reaches of the Anabar from the west to the mouth of the Little Kuonamka is also called the Great Kuonamka - it is referred to as its right source river.

course

The Little Kuonamka rises around 325 km north of the Arctic Circle in the southeast part of the Anabar Plateau , the northern part of the Central Siberian Mountains . Its source is about 400  m above sea level to the northeast of a 433 m high plateau part, whose further northwest to 486  m high main ridge leads to the north-west to the upper reaches of the river Anabar ( Great Kuonamka ).

Initially, the Kleine Kuonamka flows southeast in the southeastern foothills of the Anabar plateau through unpopulated landscapes. After an eastward section of the river, it turns north on the eastern edge of the plateau and passes the settlement of Schilinda , where the Anabar trunk road is being planned or built.

Below this, the Little Kuonamka flows north-northwest, about 480 km north of the Arctic Circle at about 16  m altitude in the Anabar ( Great Kuonamka ), which flows from the west and is 559 km long , and the 380 km below it flows into the Laptew Sea ( Arctic Ocean ) flows.

Catchment area and tributaries

The catchment area of the Little Kuonamka is around 24,800 km². Its tributaries include, viewed downstream: Mjunjusjach, Birandja, Usumun, Delingde, Maspaky and Julegir.

Hydrology and hydrography

The Small Kuonamka is from late September or early October to late May of ice covered. When the permafrost thaws in summer and the ice and snow melt, strong floods often occur .
