There is a wide and short underwater valley in front of the Lena River mouth, an underwater valley expanding to the north from the Olenek Gulf and a long, narrow valley stretching northward from Stolbovoy Island.
Nutrient distributions and variability in the Laptev Sea are related to life cycles of marine organisms, river influx, water mass advection from the Arctic Basin and adjacent seas and hydrometeorological conditions.
The catchment area of the rivers is located in the territory of the Yakutia (Saha) republic, in which a few towns (Yakutsk, Lensk) are located along the middle and upper Lena River, but the population density is low.
