The Aby Lowland (; ) is a low alluvial plain located in the Sakha Republic, Far Eastern Federal District, Russia. Administratively most of the territory of the lowland is part of Aby District (Aby Ulus).
Geography The lowland is crossed by the Indigirka River in its middle course. Besides many smaller rivers and streams, three large left hand tributaries of the great river flow into it, the Selennyakh, Uyandina (with the Khatyngnakh) and Druzhina rivers. The Badyarikha limits the area in the east. The area is flat and mostly marshy, the average height of the plain being between and above sea level. The rivers are generally slow-flowing and meandering, connected by channels and with very boggy shores. The Aby Lakes, mostly small and numbering over 15,000, are dotting the lowlands. The largest are Lake OzhoginoIndigirka / Great Russian Encyclopedia in 35 vols. / Ch. ed. Yu.S. Osipov . - M, 2004—2017. and Lake Suturuokha.Visit Yakutia - Suturuokha Lake
The Aby Lowland is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with the Selennyakh Range and Esteriktyakh-Tas in the west, the Moma Range in the south and southeast, the Alazeya Plateau in the east and the Polousny Range in the north. The latter separates it from the Yana-Indigirka Lowland.Рельеф и геологическое строение (Relief and geological structure)Google Earth
In the winter the plains are frosty owing to stagnation of cold air. There is usually light snowfall. Summers are short, but with rather high temperatures considering the latitude.
