 Attractions of Yakutia Many phenomena on our planet we can not explain and therefore fall into a kind of sacred awe. There are not so many places on the Earth, but one of them is in Russia, at the coldest edge of the world, which seems to be mired in diamonds, shamans, deer, ancient legends and frosty frost.

Lena Pillars

 Sightseeings of Yakutia Lena Pillars are a forty-kilometer-long series of sheer cliffs that stretch along the right bank of the Lena River. Today it is a natural reserve of Yakutia - cliffs from 40 to 100 meters in height become more beautiful and mysterious every year due to local climatic conditions.

Sinsky Pillars

Sakha Republic (Yakutia), p. Blue

 Sightseeings of Yakutia Tourists and connoisseurs of natural beauty pay many thousands of evergreens to look at ancient limestone pillars in the county of Wales, completely unaware that in Yakutia there are rocks where it's steeper, and worth the trip to this virgin land is much cheaper

Ust-Vilyui National Park

Zhigansk

 Sights of Yakutia Ust-Vilyui National Park is in the valley between the picturesque Lyampushka and Dyanyshka rivers, Alek from the Verkhoyansk Range. It is interesting that in these wild impassable places there are practically no settlements.

The sights of Yakutia, roughly speaking, fall into two categories: national cultural and natural. Both these and others can be very interesting due to their rare specificity. The nature of Yakutia is severe, but beautiful, and, being here, we can not but pay tribute to its marvelous wonders.

Ust-Lensky Reserve is unique with the most northern forests in the republic, the protected polar bear population, the spawning grounds of the whitefish, and the waterfowl nesting grounds. Curious sand deposits-tukulany and tukulanye lakes, where you can fish and swim perfectly on a clean sandy beach. Also known are the Sinsky pillars, the cliffs from the limestone of the Cambrian epoch - exactly the same as in the British Cumbria.

Amazing Yakut rivers. For example, the East Khandyga, which almost entirely bends along the entire federal highway "Kolyma". Or the famous Vilyuy is longer than 2, 5 thousand km, flowing from north to south, with a number of hydroelectric power stations. But Buotama is remarkable for the parking of primitive people, who are already about 40 thousand years old, and amazing nature.

The nature of Yakutia is severe, but beautiful, and, being here, one can not but pay tribute to her marvelous wonders.

Also one of the beautiful rivers of the Republic - Amgu, about which many songs and legends are composed. . Its origins are in the Aldan plateau, in Haram-Haya, recognized protected natural territory . A worthy competition is the Aldan, on the banks of which were found about 90 sites of prehistoric of people. Deserves attention and Lake Labykyr, in which, according to the beliefs of the Yakuts, there lives a prehistoric giant animal . It may well be, since this lake at an altitude of more than 1 km above sea level reaches a depth of 60 m . And on a small river Menda, one of the tributaries of Lena, there is a small but very nice waterfall cascade Kuruluur .

The mountains, hills and cliffs of Yakutia are also very beautiful and interesting . For example, the Marble Mountain (Yuryung-Taastakh-Khaya) on the border with the natural park "Momsky" . Or Mamontov mountain, where a lot of eyes were discovered Enel plants and mammals of the Pleistocene epoch Miocene and . In the upper reaches of the Lena can see the so-called Lena Cheeks: steep cliffs of bright orange color, forming a narrow gorge .And 150 km to the south of Yakutsk there are the Lena Pillars, a protected park of a huge area, where you can admire the many kilometers of steep cliffs of unusual shapes .

The Mir Quarry in Mirny settlement can not be called a natural landmark, but still it deserves every attention. The quarry is located on a diamond field discovered in 1955, and at a diameter of 1,200 m it is one of the largest on the planet.

Very mystical place - Death Valley, Elyuyu-Cherkchekh .Here you can see a rather gloomy picture: a dead multi-kilometer forest where no one else lives, except insects .In local places, according to legends, it is possible to find so-called boilers from metal of incredible size .These anomalous structures, dug in the ground, clearly can not be a natural creation .Some "boilers" form something like caves with halls, inside of which even in the most severe frosts heat is stored, as in a heated room .But it is not worth rejoicing: all the evidence about the "boilers" claim that after spending one night here, one can seriously get sick, and if more - then die .

Berelekh cemetery of mammoths was investigated in 1970 and found on it about 7, 5 thousand bones. The lion's share of bones belonged to mammoths and numbered about 12 thousand years. Those who live animals are more interesting than the dead, it is worth visiting the bison amateurs: after all, bison in Yakutia lived simultaneously with mammoths. True, now they are under threat. Live bison only survived in the US and Canada, and in the early 21st century, several pods were transferred by the Canadian government to the Sah. By 2009, more than 30 animals lived in the bison.
