course
The Novaya arises about 840 km north of the Arctic Circle on the Taimyr Peninsula . In the Taimyr Valley there , the central part of the North Siberian lowlands , it flows from the small Gawrila Lake , which is located southwest of Lake Taimyr and northwest of Lake Labasse at an altitude of about 97 m and is fed by a short stream from the east.
In the Taimyr Depression, the Nowaya, which runs through unpopulated areas with many windings, flows southward in the upper reaches and eastward in the middle reaches, after which it receives its longest tributary with the Sakharova-Rassocha . In the lower reaches it flows to the southeast. In some places it forms several arms of the river, which reunite several times, but remain separate from each other in the estuary area.
Finally, the Nowaja opens about 161 km above the Chatangamündung at 0.8 m height in the coming there from southwest Chatanga ; the Nowajamündung opposite on the far Chatangaufer Nowoletowje .
