Kyuyutingde
The river gives its name to the Kyuyutingde Formation, a dolomite geological formation in the Olenyok Uplift.
Course
The Kyuyutingde is a right tributary of the Olenyok. Its sources are at the southern end of the Kystyk Plateau at the confluence of the 58 kilometres (36 mi) long Debengde and the 40 kilometres (25 mi) long Sygynakhtaakh. It flows first in a roughly southeastern direction, then it bends southwestwards for a short stretch and bends finally westwards, heading in that direction until the Olenyok floodplain, where it enters a low, marshy area with many small lakes to the north. It meanders strongly until it joins the great river 392 km (244 mi) upstream of its mouth.
Owing to the harshness of the climate the river is frozen between early October and early June. Its longest tributaries are the 64 kilometres (40 mi) long Kharyalaakh from the right, as well as the 80 kilometres (50 mi) long Bulbarangda from the left.
