2) The source is the March, the mouth is the Bering Sea, and the northwest is the direction of the current.
3) Before the confluence with Pelli flows in a deep mountain valley, forming rapids. About half of the river has a flat character.
4) It feeds on numerous tributaries, as well as on the melting snow of Alaska.
5) The floodplains have, as a rule, fertile soils and rich flood meadows, often used for garden crops. In the valleys of the river in most cases pass the main land transport arteries (railways and roads); along the river is the predominant part of cities and towns.
