YENISEI
The Yenisei or Yenisey is the fifth-longest river system in the world, and the largest to drain into the Arctic Ocean. Beginning in Mungaragiyn-gol in Mongolia, it follows a northerly course through the Krasnoyarsk Dam before draining into the Yenisei Gulf in the Kara Sea. Its basin comprises Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake. The Yenisei divides the Western Siberian Plain in the west from the Central Siberian Plateau to the east; it drains a large part of central Siberia. Its delta is formed between the Gyda Peninsula and the Taymyr Peninsula. The Yenisei is the central river of three large Siberian rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean (the other two being the Ob and the Lena). The maximum depth of the Yenisei is 61 metres (200 ft) and the average depth is 14 metres (45 ft).
