The Killemtine (Russian: Киллэмтиинэ or Гиллябкина; Yakut: Киллэмтиинэ) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russian Federation. It is a right hand tributary of the Vakunayka, of the Chona basin, and is 196 kilometres (122 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 3,830 square kilometres (1,480 sq mi).[1]
There are no permanent settlements by the river. The Russian Geographical Society organized an expedition in 1853–55 to survey the orography, geology and population of the Vilyuy and Chona basins.[2]
