Pizhma River (Russian: Пижма) is a river in Komi Republic in Russia, an arm of the Pechora River. The length of the river is 389 km and the area of its basin is 5,470 km². The Pizhma flows southeast out of the Yamozero Lake, turns east and then north and joins the Pechora River at Ust-Tsilma where the Tsilma River also joins the Pechora. The river freezes up in late October - early November and stays icebound until late April - early May. The Pizhma is navigable within its lower reaches.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“the folk-lore
Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
