The Arga-Yuryakh (Russian: Арга-Юрях; Yakut: Арҕаа Үрэх, Arğaa Ürex) is a river in Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is one of the major tributaries of the Omoloy. The river has a length of 214 kilometres (133 mi) and a drainage basin area of 5,530 square kilometres (2,140 sq mi).[1]
The river flows north of the Arctic Circle, across desolate tundra territories of the East Siberian Lowland. Its basin falls within Ust-Yansky and Bulunsky districts.[2] The name of the river comes from the Yakut "Arğaa-ürex" (Арҕаа-үрэх), meaning "western river".[3]
