The Enmyvaam (Russian: Энмываам,[1] also spelled Enmywaam or Emmyvaam in English[citation needed]) is a river located in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the Russian Far East, about 150 km (93 mi) southeast of Chaunskaya Bay.[2] It is fed by and is the main and only[citation needed] outflow of Lake Elgygytgyn, draining into the Belaya, which drains into the Anadyr and eventually the Bering Sea.
The river flows in the southern direction. It is 285 kilometres (177 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 11,900 square kilometres (4,600 sq mi).[3] It is located within the Anadyr river basin in the Anadyr—Kolyma watershed district.[4]
The name "Enmyvaam" comes from the Chukchi language and means "a river with rocky shores".[5]
