Geography
Yanragytgyn lies close to the northern slopes of the Ukvushvuynen Range, part of the Koryak Mountains. It is located 85 km (53 mi) southwest of lake Krasnoye and 65 km (40 mi) northwest of lake Maynits. The lake is roughly pear-shaped and stretches roughly from north to south. The southern section includes a few small islands close to the shore.[4]
Yanragytgyn lies in a swampy flat area of the southwestern part of the
Anadyr Lowland dotted with thermokarst lakes. An unnamed tributary of the Chirynay of the Velikaya basin, flows out of the southern lakeshore. The lake freezes in October and stays under ice until June.[5]
