The Jana (Russian Яна, Yakut Дьааҥы / Džaangy [ dʒa ŋɯ ː ] ) is a 872 km long stream, each in the north- east of the Republic of Sakha ( Yakutia) and from Russia in the north of the district or the Russian Far East ( Asia). With its source river Sartang it is 1492 km long.

Course

The river is formed between the Verkhoyansk Mountains in the west and in the east Tscherskigebirge only slightly above Verkhoyansk by the union of Dulgalach and Sartang. Shortly afterwards, she takes on the rivers and Adytscha Bytantai. From there, the Jana flows in a northerly direction to infuse over Verkhoyansk and then along the north-western edge of the Tscherskigebirges in the vast Jana Indigirka lowland ( western part of the East Siberian lowlands ). In this lowland it forms about from Ust- Jansk from a small estuary, where it is the northernmost settlement lies with Nižnejansk in the current area. After his flowing through their water reaches the Laptev Sea, a marginal sea of the icy Arctic Ocean.

Landscape

The landscape at the Jana is dominated by the boreal forest (taiga ), which passes towards the coast in the forest-tundra and tundra. In the latter, the northernmost inhabited regions of the earth can be because of the permafrost and the only low water content in the soil no tall plants, such as trees, develop, there prevail lichens, mosses, shrubs and ferns.
