The Sob is a left
tributary of the
Ob river. It has its sources in the eastern slopes of the southern sector of the
Polar Urals. After leaving the mountainous area, the river flows roughly southeastwards and southwards among small lakes in a
floodplain located at the northwestern end of the
West Siberian Plain.
Kharp town is located by its banks in its middle course. The area is marked by
permafrost, being often swampy, and with patches of
tundra and coniferous
taiga. Finally the Sob meets the left bank of the Ob near
Katravozh, about from its mouth.
Tributaries The main tributaries of the Sob are the long Bolshaya Pai-Pudyna (Большая Пай-Пудына) and the long Khanmei (Ханмей) from the left, as well as the long Orekh-Yugan (Орех-Юган) and the long Yenga-Yu (Енга-Ю) from the right. == Fauna ==
