Ust-Yansky District (Russian: Усть-Я́нский улу́с; Yakut: Усуйаана улууһа, Usuyaana uluuha, IPA: [usujaːna uluːha]) is an administrative[1] and municipal[6] district (raion, or ulus), one of the thirty-four in the Sakha Republic, Russia. It is located in the north of the republic in the Yana River delta on the coast of the Laptev Sea and borders with Allaikhovsky and Abyysky Districts in the east, Momsky District in the south, Verkhoyansky District in the southwest, and with Bulunsky District in the west. The area of the district is 120,300 square kilometers (46,400 sq mi).[3] Its administrative center is the urban locality (a settlement) of Deputatsky.[3] Population: 6,810 (2021 Census);[9] 8,056 (2010 Census);[4] 10,009 (2002 Census);[10] 41,265 (1989 Soviet census).[11] The population of Deputatsky accounts for 37.0% of the district's total population.[4]
Geography
[edit]The main rivers in the district include the Yana, the Omoloy with the Ulakhan-Kyuegyulyur, the Sellyakh, as well as the Chondon with its tributary the Nuchcha. The Kyundyulyun, northernmost spur of the Chersky Range, rises north of Ust-Kuyga. There are numerous lakes in the district. Orotko is one of the largest.[12][13][14]
Average January temperature ranges from −32 to −40 °C (−26 to −40 °F) and average July temperature ranges from +4 to +12 °C (39 to 54 °F).[2] Annual precipitation ranges from 150–200 millimeters (5.9–7.9 in) in the north to 250–300 millimeters (9.8–11.8 in) in the south.[2]
