🎧 Listen to Introduction
The site, which matches the size of the Putolansky State Nature Reserve, is located in the central part of the Putolan Plateau in northern Central Siberia. It is approximately 100 km north of the Arctic Circle. The World Heritage-listed part of the plateau contains a complete set of subarctic and Arctic ecosystems in an isolated mountain range, including pristine taiga, forest tundra, tundra and Arctic desert systems, as well as unspoiled cold-water lake and river systems. A major reindeer migration route passes through the property, an exceptional, large-scale and increasingly rare natural phenomenon.
