It is a right tributary of the Indigirka, flowing across the Middle Kolyma and Aby districts. The river usually freezes in early October and stays frozen until late May or early June. == History == In the summer of 1870 the Shangina was explored by geographer and ethnologist Baron Gerhard von Maydell (1835–1894) during his pioneering research of East Siberia. After he charted the Suor-Uyata and Ulakhan-Sis ranges of the East Siberian Lowlands, Maydell reached the Indigirka. Going about upriver he found out that the Ulakhan-Sis was separated from the Alazeya Plateau to the south by the roughly wide plain of the Shangina.
