  Yenisei River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About 100 km downstream the Yenisei is swollen by the Abakan river and passes Abakan, capital of the Khakassia region, on the west bank and Minusinsk on the east bank.
The tributary Oka and Iya rivers, which rise on the north slopes of the Eastern Sayan mountains, form the 'jaws' and 400 km of the Angara form the 'tail'.
The river starts to widen, its bed being littered with islands as numerous rivers augment its flow, in particular 1800 km Stony (Podkamennaya) Tunguska, and the 3000 km Lower (Nizhnyaya) Tunguska at Turukhansk draining the desolate central Siberian Plateau from the east.

 Yenisei River
Yenisei, a river of Asia, which rises in two principal headstreams, the Bei-kem and the Khua-kem, on the plateau of NW Mongolia - the former on the S flank of the Sayan Mountains in 97° 30' E and 52° 20' N, and the latter in marshes a few miles W of Lake Kosso-gol.
The Upper Tunguska, known also as the Angara, drains Lake Baikal, and is navigable from Irkutsk.
The length of the river is 4093 km (2543 m.), and the area of its drainage basin 970,000 sq.

Tunguska is a remote, largely uninhabited region in Siberia, Russia, near a river of the same name.
It is known for an enormous impact event about 7:17 AM local time, on the morning of June 30, 1908, which felled an estimated 60 million trees over 2,150 square kilometres but did not leave a crater.
The Upper (Verkhnyaya), the Stony (Podkamennaya), and the Lower (Nizhnyaya) Tunguska rivers are tributaries of the Yenisei River.

The explosion on the Podkamennaya Tunguska River was the most striking event in the several anomalies that occurred during that summer of 1908.
Another complication is that the Nizhnaya Tunguska data suggest, virtually unambiguously, that the bolide's flight occurred in the afternoon, whereas the data from the Angara River identify it as an early morning flight.
Since the chemical composition of the Tunguska object in its dominant conventional models is identical to that of a comet nucleus or to a carbonaceous chondrite, verification of this data would be of crucial importance to the Tunguska problem.
