Location

"Sleeping Land" or Siberia is a region in the far north of mainland Asia and most of which are in Russia from west to east, from the Ural Mountains that extends to the Pacific Ocean, and from the north to the south the territory extends from the Arctic Ocean to the borders of China, Mongolia, and Kyrgyzstan.

Its area is 13.1 million square kilometers Siberia covers 77% of Russia's land. Siberia is so large that if it was a country it would have been the largest country in the world and three countries like India would come into it. Siberia covers about 10% of our territory. Siberian Weather and Temperature. Siberia is world-famous for its long severe cold weather in winter, the temperature has been recorded up to minus 68 degrees Celsius but, the average temperature here remains -40 degrees Celsius winter reigns here for nine months of the year summer lasts only 3 months the area is covered with snow for about 6 months of the year although, Siberia is a very cold region, some parts of Siberia are very hot in summer and the average temperature reaches up to 30 degrees Celsius. The coldest place in the world Siberia is known worldwide for its cold climate, so how is it possible that the coldest place in the world is not here?

Oymyakon, located in the Siberian region, is considered one of the coldest regions in the world here in winter, the average temperature remains at -58 Celsius this is an area that in 1933 recorded the lowest temperature in history, minus 68 degrees Celsius. According to the 2010 census, the city had about 500 inhabitants.

Yakutsk is considered to be the coolest city in the world it is also located in Siberia the total population of Yakutsk is about three and a half million people most people in Siberia make their houses out of wood and they do it by raising them above the ground they don't have to worry about the weather. most people in Siberia make their houses out of wood and they make them by raising them above the ground they don't have to worry about snowfall people who walk here keep their cars on the starter so that the gasoline doesn't freeze because of the severe cold and then the car doesn't even start the cold here is so severe that if hot water is thrown into the air it freezes before it goes back down again the cold here is so severe that if hot water is thrown into the air it freezes before it goes back down again.

Lake Baikal

Also in the same area is Lake Baikal, known worldwide as "the blue eye of Siberia.". it is said to be the oldest lake in the world that still exists today the lake is estimated to have existed more than 30 million years ago. It is not only the oldest but also the deepest lake in the world.. its length is 636 km and it is 5315ft, deep according to experts, it is the largest reservoir of fresh water in the world There are about 330 rivers and streams in the world and only one river flows from it. You can appreciate its size by the fact that the locals call it "The Sea". when it gets very cold, the lake freezes completely for 5 to 6 months and the air of the lake is ruled by cold winds and the temperature drops to -40 degrees Celsius and people use it as a traffic route when it freezes.

Siberian High(Siberian Anti-Cyclone)

Let's tell you how the Siberian High comes into being in winter when temperatures drop well below freezing, Lake Baikal and the entire Siberian region experience extreme cold at the same time, and the air pressure increases this creating an anti-cyclone of cold winds, also called Siberian winds or Siberian high when these winds rise from Siberia, they extend to the coastal regions of South Asia, these winds are cold and cover the whole of South Asia; the intensity of the cold also increases in Pakistan.

Trans Siberian Railway passes through the Ural Mountains, Pine Forests, 8 Time Zones, and Thousands of Nature Amazing Views, the railway track also passes through Siberia this railway track connects Moscow with Vladivostok. The railway has a length of 9288 km. It is the longest railway track in the world. If you travel from Moscow to Vladivostok via this railway track you will spend only 6 nights and 6 days seeing almost all the beautiful scenery of nature but Friends, if you go on this trip, you can definitely say that you have seen almost all of Russia.

Cold Desert

You will be surprised to discover that there is also a desert at the foot of the snow-capped mountains of southern Siberia but friends, this is not hot but a cold desert here you will find Polar Deer, not camels winter snowfall covers this desert as well it is 6 km long and 3 km wide. when summer begins in Siberia and the snow melts from this desert then surrounded by snow-capped mountains, this desert offers fascinating view importance of Siberia Russia's geographic and climatic features have been a barrier to the development of Siberia but, this region has been strategically important for Russia due to its climatic features, this region has been safe from enemy invasion

although, this area is freezing cold and freezing for most of the year due to which its population is very small but economically this region is important for Russia almost 70% of Russia's Oil and Gas Reserves are found in Siberia. Russia is currently the world's largest exporter of natural gas, thanks to gas from Siberia most European countries depend on Russia for Natural Gas. Siberia also has large deposits of Nickel, Gold, Diamond, Lead, and Coal which makes Russia the biggest exporter of these minerals an estimated 40% of the world's known nickel deposits are found in Siberia.

The population of Siberia although Siberia covers 77% of Russia's land area, it is only 23% of its population the reason for the low population here is obviously that it is very difficult for any human being to endure the harsh weather here in these circumstances, many people often move to western parts of Russia or abroad although Siberia is sparsely populated, people here want to move to other cities but in the 1960s, during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, things were not going well then a team of scientists went to an area in western Siberia for their freedom of thought and they started their research activities here today, there are more than 20 research institutes in an area of ​​2.5 km and this street is called Smartest Street in the World

Siberia is not only rich in beautiful landscapes but, is also home to a rare breed of animals that spend four months in the same landscape the Siberian tiger is the most famous animal found in Siberia and it is the longest animal of the tiger species but sadly, it is also in danger of extinction according to one estimate, their number is reduced to a few hundred there are also numerous species of wildlife such as Siberian Husky and Cats, and Polar Deer.

here let's tell you about a strange incident in 1908 a powerful explosion occurred in the "Taiga Ecoregion" of eastern Siberia as a result, tens of millions of trees were cleared in an area of ​​2,000 square kilometers according to experts, the explosion was many times more powerful than the atomic bombings dropped on Japan in 1945. they also said that the explosion was caused by an asteroid that exploded in the atmosphere and the energy released from it was so great that all the trees in the area were burnt.
