		The Lena River, with a length of 4250 km, is the longest river in the U.S.S.R. A great delta has formed where it empties into the Laptev Sea, a part of the Arctic Ocean (Figure D-11.1) (Suslov, 1961).
		At the apex of the delta, the Lena River is complexly braided (D), with many large braid bars and small channels.
		As a result, small beaches and complex offshore barriers are present at most of the river mouths of arctic deltas; see Figure D-11.3, showing the Colville Delta, Alaska, U.S.A. The channels in the lower delta are often quite deep, on the order of 15 to 18 m, being much deeper than the upstream segments.
