Palyavaam River, River system in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia
The Palyavaam River extends 416 kilometers through the Russian Far East, featuring a drainage basin of 12,900 square kilometers in the tundra landscape.
Explorer Dmitrij Ivanovič Pavluckij conducted the first documented expedition of the Palyavaam River basin in 1746, mapping this remote waterway.
The name Palyavaam derives from Yukaghir language meaning mountain river, reflecting the indigenous peoples' connection to this waterway.
The river remains frozen from October through June, with peak water levels occurring during summer months when fishing activities intensify.
The Palyavaam River supports multiple fish species including Humpback whitefish, East Siberian Grayling, Pink salmon, Chum salmon, and Arctic char.
