RE: Amazing Nature Contest - January 2020 - #03. In the winter forest
This area looks like a forest from the old Russian Fairy Tales that I watched as a child, hehe .. very beautiful pictures. I wish that there would have been some snow here too this year .. is Khakass Steppe close to Mongolia ? I always thought that there is only incredibly cold and tons of snow in the northern regions of Syberia .. I wish you the very best ^^
From the capital of Khakassia, the city of Abakan to Mongolia, about 700 kilometers by car. Khakassia is located in the South of Siberia, where the climate is not as harsh as in the Northern and Central regions.
I always imagined Syberia as one of the last remaining untouched nature reserves on earth ^^ .. and is is soooo huuuuge !
Alas, there are probably no untouched corners of nature on our planet...
And on the territory of modern Khakassia, people have lived since ancient times, stone idols located here archaeologists refer to the end of the third or beginning of the second Millennium BC.
