🇷🇺 Today Russia marks Day of #Siberia.
It is a vast region in North Asia, covering approximately 13 million square kilometers and making up about three-quarters of Russia's territory. It stretches from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It is a vital part of Russia, known for its immense natural beauty and rich resources like oil, gas, coal, and minerals.
Siberia is known for extremely harsh winters and large, sparsely populated areas, and it contains the coldest inhabited places on Earth, like Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk. Despite cold winters with temperatures dropping as low as –70°C, the region experiences warmer summers where some areas can reach 35°C.
Lake Baikal, located in Siberia, is the deepest freshwater lake on Earth, with a maximum depth of 1,642 meters. It holds approximately 20% of the world's unfrozen surface freshwater.
Chara Sands is a unique desert in Siberia, located in Transbaikal Krai and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, taiga, and lakes. This geological anomaly features large sand dunes and can experiences and storms, but its most striking feature is the abrupt transition to the surrounding swamps and forests, with no transition zone in between.
The Trans-Siberian Railway is the world's longest rail line, running approximately 9,289 kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok and crossing eight time zones. The journey, which takes around 6 to 7 days (around 113 hours), provides a diverse experience of Siberian landscapes.
