River in Yakutia, Russia
The Nuchcha or Nuuchcha (Russian: Нучча; Yakut: Нуучча, Nuuçça) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is the longest tributary of the Chondon. The river has a length of 243 kilometres (151 mi) and a drainage basin area of 2,410 square kilometres (930 sq mi).[1]
The Nuchcha flows north of the Arctic Circle, across desolate territories of the Ust-Yansky District. An abandoned village named "Batagay" was located by the riverside in its lower course.[2][3] A 2021 Yakut fictional film which received an award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival was named Nuuchcha.[4]
