Close
Together with the Seymchan that flows roughly southwards on the facing bank of the Kolyma basin, the Buyunda forms the Seymchan-Buyunda Depression, which limits the Upper Kolyma Highlands from the east.[2] [4]
The name of the Buyunda originated in the Evenki language, meaning "where there are wild deer".[4]
