Buyunda
Buyunda
River in Magadan Oblast, Russia
The Buyunda (Russian: Буюнда) is a river in Magadan Oblast, Russian Far East. It is a right tributary of the Kolyma, with a length of 434 kilometres (270 mi) and a drainage basin of 24,800 square kilometres (9,600 sq mi).[1][2][3]
Together with the Seymchan that flows roughly southwards on the facing bank of the Kolyma basin, the Buyunda forms the Seymchan-Buyunda Depression, which limits the Upper Kolyma Highlands from the east.[2] [4]
The name of the Buyunda originated in the Evenki language, meaning "where there are wild deer".[4]
