Karasee and Obbusen, Tasbusen marked

The Taz Estuary ( Russian губа Тазовская, Tasowskaja guba ) is a side estuary of the great Obbusens in North Siberia ( Russia , Asia ).

location

The Tasbusen is located in a large area between the northern end of the Ural Mountains (west) and the Putorana Mountains (east) in the north of the great West Siberian lowlands . Administratively it lies in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug .

shape

The tasbus has roughly the shape of a question mark . It is approximately 325 km long and up to 30 km wide. About 100 km beyond the Arctic Circle , the Tasbusen begins at Tasowski (67 ° N 79 ° E). At the southeast end, the bosom is fed by the waters of the Tas and the Pur . Another tributary is the Messojacha . The Tasbusen flows from the east into the Obbusen, which is a bay of the Kara Sea. The Tasbusen is thus a lateral estuary .

Hydrology

The Tas and Pur rivers drain the central northern part of the swampy West Siberian lowlands . Due to the mass of water that arises there, the bosom has a quite considerable current flowing northwards.

Neighboring landscapes

The northeast coast of the Tasbusen forms the Gydan Peninsula ; the west coast of the Tas Peninsula . The flat undulating landscape surrounding the Tasbusen was planed and flattened by ice age glaciers; it is dominated by the tundra .

The eastern river system is the Yenisei , to the west of the Ob - Irtysh .
