Kolyuchinskaya Bay ((ロシア語:Колючинская губа)) is a large bay in the Chukchi Sea on the northern shore of the Chukotka Peninsula, Russia. To the west is Cape Vankarem and to the east Neskynpil'gyn Lagoon and Cape Serdtse-Kamen. The length of the bay is 100 km. Its mouth is only 2.8 km because of the Serykh Gusey Islands and Belyaka Spit (Kosa Belyaka), separate it from the Arctic Ocean. The width increases to 37 km as it goes southwards and inland. The depth of Kolyuchinskaya Bay is 7 to 14 m. The bay is covered with ice most of the year. This bay has an inlet in its southern end known as the Kuetkuyyim Inlet (Kuetkuyyim Zaliv). The Ioniveyem and the Ulyuveyem River flow into it from the south. Administratively this bay belongs to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of the Russian Federation. In 1793, the bay was named Count Bezborodko Bay in honor of a Russian statesman Alexander Bezborodko. The locals could not get accustomed to this name and the bay was later renamed Kolyuchinskaya after Kolyuchin Island. ==References== * http://map.primorye.ru/preview.asp?l=rus&v=WORLD&a=1&sl=}&sw=400&sh=400 Location (copy link and paste) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kolyuchinskaya Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
