The Yeropol is a right tributary of the Anadyr and its basin is in a mountainous area of Chukotka. The village of Chuvanskoye is located in the middle course of the river.[3] The name of the river originated in the Yukaghir language.[4]
History
The Yeropol river was known to Russian explorers since the 17th century.[5]
In 1984 two archeological sites were discovered in the upper reaches of the Yeropol. There are remains of different eras, ranging from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic.[6]
Course
The source of the Yeropol is in the eastern section of the Oloy Range, 60 km (37 mi) to the south of 1,787 m (5,863 ft) high Mount Snezhnaya. The river heads first southeastwards in its upper course, then it bends and flows in a steady ENE direction until its mouth. In its last stretch it enters a plain bound by mountains on both sides, where it divides into multiple branches. Finally it joins the right bank of the Anadyr a little downstream from the mouth of the Yablon, 740 kilometres (460 mi) from its mouth.[1]
The main tributaries of the Yeropol are the 102 kilometres (63 mi) long Umkuveyem and 85 kilometres (53 mi) long Atakhayevskaya from the left.[2] The river and its tributaries are frozen for between eight and nine months every year.[4]
