The Vivi is a river in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It is a right hand tributary of the Nizhnyaya Tunguska. The Vivi is 426 km long, and the area of its basin is 26800 km2. A damaged An-2 aircraft was discovered in the area of the river Vivi on 28 July 2011.

Course

The Vivi has its source where the southern limit of the Putorana Plateau overlaps with the Syverma Plateau. It begins at the southern end of Lake Vivi and is fast-flowing with many rapids. The Vivi flows roughly southeastwards across the Syverma Plateau in a very remote area where there are very rarely any people. The Vivi joins the right bank of the Nizhnyaya Tunguska near where the latter flows west into the eastern side of the Tunguska Plateau. There are more than 500 small lakes in the river's basin with a total area of about 268 sqkm. The Logancha meteorite crater is also located in the Vivi basin.
