The Arga-Yuryakh (‹See Tfd›Russian: Арга-Юрях; Yakut: Арҕаа Үрэх, Arğaa Ürex) is a river in Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is a tributary of the Rassokha of the Alazeya basin. The river has a length of 312 kilometres (194 mi) and a drainage basin area of 5,600 square kilometres (2,200 sq mi).[1]
The river flows north of the Arctic Circle, across desolate tundra territories of the East Siberian Lowland. Its basin falls within Srednekolymsky District.[2] The name of the river comes from the Yakut "Arğaa-ürex" (Арҕаа-үрэх), meaning "western river".[3]
