Katun River
It is one of the largest rivers in Western Siberia. The name comes from the Altai word "kadyn" (meaning "mistress"). The river originates from the Gebler Glacier at the foot of Mount Belukha on the southern slope of the Katun Range. It flows through the Altai Republic and the Altai Territory. When it merges with the Biya River, it forms the Ob River, one of the largest rivers in Eurasia. Interestingly, almost the entire Katun River basin is located in mountainous terrain.
