Iomrautvaam

The Iomrautvaam (Russian: Иомраутваам; Chukot: Емрауткенваам) is a river in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia.

It flows in a roughly northeastern direction in the northern section of the range.

Finally it meets the right bank of the Khatyrka 100 kilometres (62 mi) from its mouth, close to the northeastern end of the ridge.

It was found during an expedition to Chukotka in the summer of 2011 buried in a 7,000-year-old layer of dirt and was named Khatyrka meteorite.

[7][8] The river basin is characterized by tundra vegetation, including mosses, lichens, dwarf shrubs, and sedges.
