Course
The Vivi has its source where the southern limit of the Putorana Plateau overlaps with the Syverma Plateau. It begins at the southern end of Lake Vivi and is fast-flowing with many rapids. The Vivi flows roughly southeastwards across the Syverma Plateau in a very remote area where there are very rarely any people.[3] The Vivi joins the right bank of the Nizhnyaya Tunguska near where the latter flows west into the eastern side of the Tunguska Plateau.[4]
There are more than 500 small lakes in the river's basin with a total area of about 268 square kilometres (103 sq mi).
