Course
editThe Ichera is a left tributary of the Lena. It is formed in the western part of the Lena Plateau. The river heads in a roughly southeastern direction across a taiga area. Finally it meets the Lena 2,973 kilometres (1,847 mi) from its mouth, 77 kilometres (48 mi) downstream from the mouth of the Pilyuda.[3][2]
The largest tributaries of the Ichera are the 78 kilometres (48 mi) long Maly Rassokha, the 66 kilometres (41 mi) long Demyanka and the 48 kilometres (30 mi) long Turpa that join it from the left, as well as the 72 kilometres (45 mi) long Levaya Rassokha from the right. The river freezes yearly between October and May.[1]
