Discover the untouched majesty of the Russian Far North with "Памятники природы плато Путорана" (Natural Monuments of the Putorana Plateau) by Mikhail Vasilyevich Afanasyev. This scientific-popular publication offers a detailed exploration of the many natural landmarks found on the Putorana Plateau—a mountainous region in northern Krasnoyarsk Krai.
In recent years, this area has grown increasingly popular among tourists and the general public. Its appeal comes from a set of features that distinguish it not only within Russia but across the entire world. The Putorana Plateau is the northernmost basalt plateau in Eurasia and home to the largest expanse of untouched wilderness on the planet. Its unique landscapes include an extraordinary number of outstanding natural monuments, particularly waterfalls and canyons, which outnumber those found in the rest of Russia combined.
Due to these remarkable characteristics, the Putorana Plateau was granted UNESCO protected status in 2010. For 12 years now, it has been a top contender for popularity among Russia’s geographical regions. The authors—experienced travelers who have spent years researching the area—have traversed over 8,000 kilometers of rivers and mountains across every part of the Putorana Plateau.
