Course[edit]
The Kyuyutingde is a right tributary of the Olenyok. Its sources are at the southern end of theKystyk Plateauat the confluence of the 58 kilometres (36 mi) long Debengde and the 40 kilometres (25 mi) long Sygynakhtaakh. It flows first in a roughly southeastern direction, then it bends southwestwards for a short stretch and bends finally westwards, heading in that direction until theOlenyokfloodplain,where it enters a low, marshy area with many small lakes to the north. Itmeandersstrongly until it joins the great river 392 km (244 mi) upstream of its mouth.[5][6][3]
Owing to the harshness of the climate the river is frozen between early October and early June. Its longest tributaries are the 64 kilometres (40 mi) long Kharyalaakh from the right, as well as the 80 kilometres (50 mi) long Bulbarangda from the left.[2]
