The Ola (Russian: Ола) is a river in Magadan Oblast, Russian Far East. It is 166km (103miles) long, with a drainage basin of 8570km2.[1]
The R504 Kolyma Highway crosses the Ola about 40km (30miles) north of its mouth.[2]
The river has its source in the Olsky Plateau, at the eastern end of the Upper Kolyma Highlands, 30km (20miles) southwest of Atka at an elevation of 1160m (3,810feet). It flows SSE for about 70km (40miles) then it bends and flows SSW across the Ola Lowland, bending again and flowing roughly southwards. Its last stretch is among wetlands between Magadan and Lake Chistoye. Finally it flows in the Taui Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk.[3] Ola, the administrative center of Ola District is located at the mouth of the river.
The main tributary of the Ola is the Lankovaya that joins it in its lower course from the left.[4]
