It stands on the right bank of the Great Petchora,near the first great bend in the river, and opposite themouth of the River Zylma, and is 300 versts from the townof Pustozersk, at the mouth of the Petchora. Looking down upon the river from the low hills behindthe town, and upon the distant country covered withforest, or along the river courses fringed with willows, atthis season it is sufficiently dreary-looking, but insummer the view must be fine. The river is a verst anda half (exactly a mile) w^ide, and at present is one greatsheet of snow-covered ice, wath sundry sledge-roadscrossing at various points. Behind the town are lowforests of spruce, edged with brushwood, at the distance VOL. II. 19 ^^ 262 TRAVELS OF A NATU
