Yenisey, Angara, and Selenga rivers
The Yenisey-Angara-Selenga River System is the most significant river system that flows into the Arctic Ocean and is the fifth longest river in the world. The Selenga River drains into Lake Baikal after a 992 km journey from its source in the Yenisey-Angara River basin. The Angara River, a major tributary of the Yenisey River, begins near the human settlement of Listvyanka on the southern shore of Lake Baikal in Russias Irkutsk Oblast and runs north through those towns until joining the Yenisey River at Strelka. The Yenisey River has its source in the Mungaragiyn-gol region of Mongolia. It travels the length of Siberia before emptying into the Arctic Ocean via the Yenisei Gulf and the Kara Sea.
