The Yana is a river in Sakha in Russia, located between the Lena to the west and the Indigirka to the east. It is 872 kilometres long, and its drainage basin covers 238,000 square kilometres. Including its longest source river, the Sartang, it is 1,492 km long. Its annual discharge totals approximately 35 cubic kilometres. Most of this discharge occurs in May and June as the ice on the river breaks up. The Yana freezes up on the surface in October and stays under the ice until late May or early June. In the Verkhoyansk area, it stays frozen to the bottom for 70 to 110 days, and partly frozen for 220 days of the year.
