Olenyok Gulf
The Olenyok Gulf, also known as Olenek Bay, (Russian: Оленёкский залив) is a broad gulf in the Laptev Sea. It is located WSW of the huge Lena Delta, which forms its eastern limit.
There are some islands in the gulf, like Salkay Island in the west and Dzhyangylakh and Eppet in the mouths of the Olenyok River that empties into this gulf.
The Olenyok Gulf belongs to the Sakha administrative division of the Russian Federation.
Ecology
Chars are common in the low-salinity waters of the Olenyok Gulf and genetic studies were conducted on them.[1]
The flat shores of the bay are a natural habitat for birds such as waders.[2]
gollark: How does spacechem compare to factorio?
gollark: Who cares? I use simple 3D games and the occasional bit of GPU-accelerated stuff.
gollark: *cheap*
gollark: Well, my GTX 1050 does all the 3D stuff and works and was cheapish, so I'm hardly going to switch to AMD over a relatively insignificant thingy.
gollark: Yes, I got that, it's just that I doubt anyone except you has heard of such a thing.
