No. 8 Yenisei River
The Yenisei River is considered to be one of the largest rivers in the world, running through Mongolia and China, with about 3,448 miles of extension. The river has strong rapids which usually produce floods. Moreover, the part which goes through the Darkhad Valley is often blocked by ice, producing glacier retreat which, escaping from the river, have caused major disasters. Furthermore, the river has high levels of toxicity and radiation. It is contaminated by a bomb-grade plutonium-making factory, and has implanted itself in riverbeds, flood plains and the islands along the Yenisei, and is a health peril for nearby inhabitants.
