Rauchua River

Location of the Rauchua River course.

The Rauchua River (or Bolshaya Baranikha River) is a stream in Far East Siberia.[1] It passes through the sparsely populated areas of the Siberian tundra and flows northwards into the Kolyma Gulf, East Siberian Sea, not far west from Ayon Island.

The Rauchua River and its tributaries belong to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug administrative region of Russia.

Remains of frozen mammoths have been found near the Rauchua River.
