The plot of mean sea level pressure over the winter months [clarification needed] shows a large area of high atmospheric pressure in the South of Siberia.. The Siberian High affects the weather patterns in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere: its influence extends as far west as Italy, [3] bringing freezing conditions also in the warm South, [4] and as far southeast as Malaysia, [5] where it ...
The Putorana Plateau is a high-lying plateau crossed by mountain ranges at the northwestern edge of the Central Siberian Plateau.It is located east of the Yenisei River valley, between 67° and 70° N of latitude, southwest of the Anabar Plateau, north of the Syverma and Tunguska plateaus and south of the North Siberian Lowland.

Central Siberia is located in the East Siberian taiga ecoregion, a vast region between the Yenisei River and Lena River. Its northern border reaches the Arctic Circle, and its southern border reaches 52°N latitude. The dominant vegetation is light coniferous taiga with Larix gmelini forming the canopy in areas with low snow cover.
A drone flies low over a snow-covered shipyard in Russia's Far East, where workers toil in subzero temperatures to maintain the hulking vessels during the bitter Siberian winter. The process of ...
It is the easternmost example of Siberian taiga. The region has unusual ecological conditions, a "snow forest" that combines low temperatures, high humidity and boreal forest with heavy snowfall. The local ecology is also affected by volcanic activity. [1] The region is about 300 km long (north–south), and averages about 100 km west–east. [2]
An arctic blast will send temperatures across the United States plummeting as bitterly cold air that originated in Siberia will arrive from Canada by week’s end, bringing with it dangerously ...
Tunguska is located in the East Siberian taiga ecoregion, which sits between the Yenisei River and Lena River. Its northern border reaches the Arctic Circle, and its southern border reaches 52°N latitude. The dominant vegetation is light coniferous taiga with Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii) forming the canopy in areas with low snow cover. This ...
The world's lowest temperatures for inhabited places have been recorded in this region, and there is quite deep snow cover for most of the year. The mountain range is home to an alpine tundra, supporting various species of mosses and lichens. [2] Some sparsely-wooded forests of mainly larch and dwarf Siberian pine are found on smooth slopes.
