There are many beautiful places created by nature on our planet, which you must see with your own eyes, but it is impossible to go everywhere. One of the beauties that you need to see with your own eyes is the nature of Yakutia.

Mysteries of nature

In the north of Siberia, between Chukotka and Magadan, the Khabarovsk Territory, the Amur Region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the East Siberian Sea and the Laptev Sea lies Yakutia (Republic of Sakha).

Mysteries of the nature of Yakutia is that it flourishes in the permafrost zone. Most of the territory is mountains, plateaus and lowlands. The greatest rivers in the world flow between mountains and hills. Rafting along these rivers in the unsurpassed beauty of the northern nature of the Republic, you get the most unusual sensations in life, because the climate in these places is nothing short of extreme, the coldest of all places where people live.

The air temperature ranges from over 35 degrees in summer to minus 70 degrees in winter. Here is the cold pole of our hemisphere of the planet, where the temperature is -71 degrees. Such harsh living conditions are unparalleled in the world. It's worth seeing for yourselfeyes, because the nature of Yakutia is definitely one of the most unusual on the planet.

Many residents of our vast country know about this subject of the Russian Federation no more than foreigners about Russia: a lifeless snowy desert where bears roam. All this is incredibly far away and extremely cold, as in the fairy tale about the Snow Queen. And it really is.

Various animals live in the area, especially a lot of deer. The peculiarities of the climate attract tourists here to look at the "pole of cold" and plunge into the "permafrost". The nature of Yakutia, the photo of which can be seen below, makes travelers an irresistible desire to visit these places more than once.

A bit of history

Lovers of ancient history who want to see with their own eyes the places where mammoths lived should definitely visit Yakutia. Unique parts of ancient animals have been preserved in the permafrost ice. In the forties of the last century, scientists discovered here a huge burial of mammoth bones, unusual in size and preservation. And in the 70s of the last century, scientists collected more than seven thousand bones from that cemetery of extinct animals.

Limestone pillars on the Lena River

Huge pillars, similar to the Stone Forest, can be observed on the Lena River in the Khangalassky ulus. Between Pokrovsk and Yakutsk, limestone cliffs rise. Mysterious stone towers over 160 meters high rise along the river, lined up for more than 75 kilometers, like ancient giant guards. The pillars were opened a long time ago, in the 17thcentury, but it was very difficult to get to these places. Only in the sixties of the twentieth century, the first tourist routes ran to the Lena Pillars. Now there is a national park. In addition to the pillars, the site of an ancient man who lived in these parts 3 million years ago and adorned the banks of local rivers with rock paintings was discovered on the territory of the park.

Yakutian Loch Ness Monster in Lake Labynkyr

In the east of the territory there is another miracle of nature - Lake Labynkyr. A mysterious animal supposedly lives in its waters. The lake freezes very slowly, contrary to all scientific data. Lovers of everything mysterious need to see this phenomenon with their own eyes.

Hanging glacier ridges

In the northern part of Yakutia, there are the Chersky Ridge and the Verkhoyansky Ridge, which are distinguished by steep slopes and hanging glaciers of extraordinary beauty. Streams flow from under the glaciers and get lost among the boulders. The streams are interconnected and form streams with the purest melt water. The sources of these crystal rivers also need to be seen with your own eyes. The nature of Yakutia will not leave indifferent any tourist.
