Upper Tunguska

Upper Tunguska ( Russian Верхняя Тунгуска - Verkhnyaya Tunguska) is the name given by the Yenisiske Cossacks to the lower reaches of the Angara ( Buryat name). They thought the Upper Tunguska and the Angara were different rivers. The Cossack and adventurer Demid Pjanda discovered in 1623 on the way back from a three-year expedition, on which he was one of the first Russians to reach the Lena , that the Upper Tunguska and the Angara are one and the same river.
