Byoryolyokh (Ayan-Yuryakh)
The Byoryolyokh (russian: Бёрёлёх) is a river in Magadan Oblast, Russian Federation. It is a left tributary of the Ayan-Yuryakh of the Kolyma river basin. The name of the river is based on the Yakut word ''"Börölöökh"'' (Бөрөлөөх), referring to a place where there are wolves. History The Byoryolyokh was first put on the map in 1891 by Ivan Chersky and for almost four decades it was thought that it was one of the rivers whose confluence formed the Kolyma. However, after a more thorough survey of the region carried out by Sergei Obruchev in 1929 it was established that the two rivers forming the Kolyma are the Ayan-Yuryakh and the Kulu. B.G.
