The Witim ( Russian Вити́м ) is a 1837 km (with the right source river Witimkan 1978 km) long, southern and orographically right tributary of the Lena in Siberia ( Asian part of Russia ).
Course and catchment area
The Vitim arises almost 200 km as the crow flies east of Lake Baikal , in the eastern foothills of the Ikat Mountains (Ikatski chrebet) not far from the settlement of Warvarinski from the source rivers Witimkan from the right and Tschina from the left. The longer source river Witimkan rises about 100 km southwest of this point, in the southern part of the 2500 m high Ikat Mountains at an altitude of about 2100 m . From its origin, the Witim meanders first in a southerly, then in an easterly to north-easterly direction along the south-eastern edge of the Witim plateau and runs northwest of the Jablonowy Mountains . Later he turns north, breaks through the mountain ranges of the Stanovoi highlands and reaches the settlement of Witim . There it flows into the Lena with several arms.
The catchment area of the Witim, which is only navigable in its lower reaches from the city of Bodaibo , covers 225,000 km².
