The Buor-Yuryakh (Russian: Буор-Юрях; Yakut: Буор-Үрэх, Buor-Ürex) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is the second largest tributary of the Chondon. The river has a length of 170 kilometres (110 mi) and a drainage basin area of 1,040 square kilometres (400 sq mi).
The Buor-Yuryakh flows north of the Arctic Circle, across desolate territories of the Ust-Yansky District. The name of the river comes from the Yakut "Буор Үрэх" "Buor" = earth, clay / "Yurekh" = river.
Course
The Buor-Yuryakh is a left tributary of the Chondon. It has its sources in the northeastern slopes of the Kyundyulyun at the feet of 534 metres (1,752 ft) high Gory Krest mountain. The river flows roughly eastwards across a floodplain among numerous lakes forming meanders all along its course. Finally the Buor-Yuryakh joins the Chondon 354 km (220 mi) from its mouth.
