Buotama, River tributary in Sakha Republic, Russia.
The Buotama is a river in the Sakha Republic that flows eastward across a vast territory. It joins the Lena River system and shapes the landscape of this remote northern area.
The waterway was documented in geographical records during the Russian Empire period. These early accounts helped map the river systems of this remote region.
The Buotama River forms part of the Lena Pillars Nature Park, which holds recognition on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its natural formations.
The water freezes during the colder months and thaws in spring. Visitors should consider the season carefully, as conditions and accessibility change dramatically throughout the year.
A breeding program for wood bison was established near a reservoir, bringing animals from North America to this region. This effort created a new population in an area where these animals had not existed in recent times.
