The Kotui ( Russian Котуй ) is 1,409 km long, right-side and south-eastern source river of Khatanga in northern Siberia ( Russia , Asia ) and runs in the former Autonomous District Taimyr in the north of the Krasnoyarsk region .
course
The Kotui rises a little north of the Arctic Circle in the practically uninhabited Putorana Mountains , the north-western part of the Central Siberian Mountains . Its source is in the former Evenk Autonomous Okrug on the border with the former Taimyr Autonomous Okrug on a mountain ( 1510 m ) about 10 km southwest of the 1701 m high Kamen (highest mountain in the range ). Initially, the Kotui flows south-eastwards through the northern part of the mountain range, first passing through Lake Kharpitscha and then through Lake Djupkun . A little later it turns to the northeast and takes in the waters of the Moijero . Finally he joins much further north in the south of the Taimyr peninsula located Taimyrsenke in settling Kresty , about 15 km southwest of the village Chatanga located, with the Cheta to Khatanga. The latter flows further northeast into the Laptev Sea , a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean .
Ice drift
The kotui is frozen from late September / early October to late May / early June.
