Geography

Lake Tabanda is a glacial lake that lies among high mountains at 1,239 m (4,065 ft) above mean sea level in the basin of the Chibagalakh River, part of the Indigirka basin. It is located at the head of the river in the northern slopes of the Chibagalakh Range.^[4][5]

The Tabanda-Seene (Табанда-Сээнэ) river is the outflow of the lake. After its confluence with the Kanelibit, it gives origin to the Chibagalakh, a left hand tributary of the Indigirka.^[2]
