Geography

It is called a liman because it is separated from the Gulf of Anadyr by the Russkaya Koshka spit in the north and another spit (Geka Point) in the south. The channel into the Gulf of Anadyr through the bar is located at 64°29′51″N 178°23′29″E. The Anadyr Lowlands are located to the west.[1]

Anadyrskiy Liman is divided into three parts. The outer bay receives the Tretya River (its mouth is the notch on the south shore). The southern part of the outer bay is shallow. The inner bay is called Onemen Bay and receives the Velikaya through a narrow bay on the southwest. They are separated by a promontory, with the town of Anadyr at its tip. North of the promontory is a series of lakes which form the mouth of the Kanchalan River. The Anadyr River enters the inner bay from the west. The lake south of the Anadyr in this image is Lake Krasnoye.[2][3]

gollark: I just think it is *not good* if it's working for someone else, generally seems actively hostile for user control, and also seems to slowly be trying to move to a subscription model.
gollark: Arch is somewhat annoying to set up, but it's probably paid back the time investment by teaching me Linux skills and not arbitrarily wasting my time for Microsoft.
gollark: You shouldn't have to work around it. OSes should let you actually use them and work for you, not for some company.
gollark: Well, it does. Because you have to put effort into that nonsense in the first place and it may break later.
