Kolyma Gulf

The Kolyma Gulf (Yakut: Халыма хомото, Xalıma xomoto; Russian: Колымский залив, Kolymskiy Zaliv) is the largest gulf of the East Siberian Sea.

The bay's coastline is lowland dotted with numerous lakes and swamps.

The sea in this bay is frozen for over nine months every year and is often clogged with ice floes.

Administratively the western section of the Kolyma Gulf belongs to the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), while its eastern section belongs to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of the Russian Federation.
