==Geography==
The Anadyr is {{convert|1150|km}} long and has a basin of {{convert|191000|km2|-3}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|19050000112119000103602|Река Анадырь}}</ref><ref>[http://bse.sci-lib.com/article051909.html Анадырь (река на Чукотке)], [[Great Soviet Encyclopedia]]</ref> It is frozen from October to late May and has a maximum flow in June with the [[snowmelt]]. It is navigable in small boats for about {{convert|570|km}} to near [[Markovo, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug|Markovo]]. West of Markovo it is in the [[Anadyr Highlands]] (moderate mountains and valleys with a few trees) and east of Markovo it moves into the [[Anadyr Lowlands]] (very flat treeless [[tundra]] with lakes and bogs).  The drop from Markovo to the sea is less than {{convert|100|ft}}.

It rises at about 67°N latitude and 171°E longitude in the Anadyr Highlands, near the headwaters of the [[Maly Anyuy]], flows southwest receiving the waters of the rivers [[Yablon (river)|Yablon]] and [[Yeropol]], turns east around the [[Shchuchy Range]] and passes Markvovo and the old site of [[Anadyrsk]], turns north and east and receives the [[Mayn]] from the south, thereby encircling the Lebediny [[Zakaznik]], turns northeast to receive the [[Belaya (Chukotka)|Belaya]] from the north in the [[Parapol-Belsky Lowlands]], then past [[Ust-Belaya]] it turns southeast into the Anadyr Lowlands past the Ust-Tanyurer Zakaznik and receives the [[Tanyurer]] from the north. At [[Lake Krasnoye (Chukotka)|Lake Krasnoye]], it turns east and flows into the [[Onemen Bay]] of the [[Anadyr Estuary]].  If the Onemen Bay is considered part of the river, it also receives the [[Velikaya (Chukotka)|Velikaya]] from the south and the [[Kanchalan (river)|Kanchalan]] from the north. Other important tributaries are the Yablon, Yeropol and [[Mamolina]] from the right and the [[Chineyveyem]] and [[Ubiyenka]] from the left.<ref name=WR>{{Cite web |url=https://water-rf.ru/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%8B/842/%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%8B%D1%80%D1%8C |title=Water of Russia - Анадырь |access-date=2023-04-24 |archive-date=2022-10-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221003074309/https://water-rf.ru/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%8B/842/%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%8B%D1%80%D1%8C |url-status=dead }}</ref>
