The Shangina (Russian: Шангина; Yakut: Шангин, Şangin) is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia.
In the summer of 1870 the Shangina was explored by geographer and ethnologist Baron Gerhard von Maydell (1835–1894) during his pioneering research of East Siberia.
After he charted the Suor-Uyata and Ulakhan-Sis ranges of the East Siberian Lowlands, Maydell reached the Indigirka.
[2] The Shangina river begins in the northern part of the Alazeya Plateau.
Finally the Shangina joins the right bank of the Indigirka 420 km (260 mi) from its mouth.
