The river is practically inaccessible due to the fact that it flows in places where there are no passing roads: the terrain along the banks is continuous impassable swamps. The most popular place on the river due to its availability is the bridge at the only intersection with a dirt road - a winter road that connects the village of Halyasavey with the rest of the world.
Content
Origin of title
Practically in all the rivers of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the name consists of one or two hyphenated words in the Nenets language.
As a rule, the first part speaks about the nature of the area, and the second part simply reports that this is a river. “Pohi-Yakha” is a combination of the words “Pukhacha Yakha”, pronounced in a singing tone, which literally translates to “old woman-river”.
Historical Information
It is believed that the first mention of this river was in 1820-1822. in a handwritten map of the area. The map appears in the book “Grigory Stroganov and the development of the lands of Siberia” by the author Belyaev I.
Bridges and crossings
Apart from the natural debris in the upper reaches of the river, the so-called “burned bridge” became the first permanent bridge across the river [2] . The bridge was built in the 1980s and made classically for oil and gas exploration sites. These are rejected and often new pipes used for oil production. The engineering solution is simple: the pipes are inserted into each other and welded to each other so that when crossing the bridge, the equipment does not fall into the river. Its name was due to the fact that the first bridge was built of wood, but was burned by local people who do not like the extraction of oil and gas.
