Putorana Plateau: autumn in the country of waterfalls

Putorana Plateau: autumn in the country of waterfalls

I think that many of you watched the movie Territory. Most of the natural scenes of this film are shot on the little known plateau of Putorana. This is one of the most inaccessible places in our country, a basalt plateau almost unaffected by civilization, towering to the north of Eastern Siberia just north of the Arctic Circle. Here is the Geographic Center of Russia - Lake Vivi.

Putorana Plateau is a heavily dissected mountain range located in the northwest of the Central Siberian plateau.
The relief is a combination of a relatively flat plateau and large gorges and valleys, the bottom of which is often flooded with lakes.

Putorana Plateau is often called the edge of ten thousand lakes and thousands of waterfalls. By the number of waterfalls, it ranks first in the territory of Russia. Here is also the highest waterfall of Eurasia - Talnikovy height of 482 meters.

And about the weather: the polar day in the summer is gradually replaced by a polar night in the winter. Spring, summer and autumn fit into three months: June, July, August, the rest of the time - winter with a temperature of -40 ° C. In the warmest month (July), the air temperature reaches + 16 ° С.

The area of ​​the plateau is 250 thousand km² (comparable to the territory of Great Britain).

For the plateau, a kind of trapped relief is formed, consisting of huge staircases like troughs, as well as unique table mountains with a height of 1000 to 1500 meters above sea level, crossed by huge canyons.

The most convenient form of transport for the plateau is a helicopter and boats. At the same time, traveling by boat is quite expensive, and helicopter flights are approximately like a cast-iron bridge.
