Amga

Amga is a river in the Russian Far East, a tributary of the Lena River. It originates in the Stanovoy Range, a mountain range in the Siberian Federal District, and flows generally northwards into the Lena. The river is approximately 1,000 kilometers long and has a drainage basin of about 100,000 square kilometers. Amga is known for its scenic beauty, with lush forests and diverse wildlife along its banks. The river is also significant for its role in the transportation of goods and people in the region, as well as its importance to the local economy, which relies heavily on fishing and logging. The Amga River is part of the Lena River basin, which is the second-largest river basin in the world by volume. The river freezes over in winter and remains navigable for a significant portion of the year, facilitating transportation and trade. The Amga River is also home to several indigenous communities, who have traditionally relied on the river for their livelihoods.
