River From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vyngypur (Russian: Вынгыпур, also: Вынгапур, Вэнга-Пур, Вэнгапур)[1] is a river in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia, a right tributary of the Pyakupur.[2] It is 319 kilometres (198 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 8,710 square kilometres (3,360 sq mi).[3] It starts on the northern slope of the Siberian Uvaly Hills, about 60 km east of Noyabrsk, and flows north through a boggy terrain. The river has more than 300 tributaries along its way, most of them short, but more than 60 of them exceed 10 km in length. Two main tributaries are Apakapur (left) and Vyngyyakha (right).
