Etymology

Indigirka takes its name from the languages of the native people of eastern Siberia and was used long ago to name this great Arctic river. A helpful way to remember Indigirka is to picture a cold, north-flowing river used for travel and life in the tundra, because the original name belongs to that river itself.
