From there it flows in a predominantly east-northeast direction through a valley to Nikolajabucht . This forms a deep bay on the side of the Academy Bay on the west coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. The Ussalgin has a strongly meandering behavior with countless narrow river loops. It finally flows into the southwest head end of Nikolajabucht. The estuary is 100 km east of the village of Tugur .
