Encyclopedia: San River

The San (Ukrainian: Сян, Sian) is a river in southeastern Poland and western Ukraine, a tributary of the Vistula River, with a length of 433 km (it is the 6th-longest Polish river) and a basin area of 16,861 km² (14,390 km² of it, in Poland). The San arises in the Carpathian Mountains near the village of Sianky, at an elevation of 900 metres, exactly on the Polish-Ukrainian border [1] (49°00′10″N, 22°52′30″E) and on the continental watershed, and forms the border between Poland and Ukraine for approximately its first 50 km.
