The region directly east of the West Siberian Plain is the Central Siberian Plateau, which extends eastward from the Yenisei River valley to the Lena River valley. The region is divided into several plateaus, with elevations ranging between 320 and 740 meters; the highest elevation is about 1,800 meters, in the northern Putoran Mountains. The plain is bounded on the south by the Primorsky Range and the Baikal Mountains, and on the north by the North Siberian Lowland, an extension of the West Siberian Plain extending into the Taymyr Peninsula on the Arctic Ocean.

Today's major industrial cities of Noril'sk, Vorkuta, Kolyma and Magadan, were camps originally built by prisoners and run by ex-prisoners. Most of Northwest Russia and Siberia has a subarctic climate, with extremely severe winters in the inner regions of Northeast Siberia (mostly Sakha, where the Northern Pole of Cold is located with the record low temperature of −71.2°C or −96.2°F), [29] and more moderate winters elsewhere. Russia's vast stretch of land along the Arctic Ocean and the Russian Arctic islands have a polar climate. [30] Siberia spans an area of 13.1million square kilometres (5,100,000sqmi), covering the vast majority of Russia's total territory, and almost 9% of Earth's land surface (148,940,000km 2, 57,510,000sqmi). It geographically falls in Asia, but is culturally and politically considered European, since it is a part of Russia. [7] Major geographical zones within Siberia include the West Siberian Plain and the Central Siberian Plateau. Russia's third most popular sport, bandy, [86] is important in Siberia. In the 2015–16 Russian Bandy Super League season Yenisey from Krasnoyarsk became champions for the third year in a row by beating Baykal-Energiya from Irkutsk in the final. [87] [88] Two or three more teams (depending on the definition of Siberia) play in the Super League, the 2016–17 champions SKA-Neftyanik from Khabarovsk as well as Kuzbass from Kemerovo and Sibselmash from Novosibirsk. In 2007 Kemerovo got Russia's first indoor arena specifically built for bandy. [89] Now Khabarovsk has the world's largest indoor arena specifically built for bandy, Arena Yerofey. [90] It was venue for Division A of the 2018 World Championship. In time for the 2020 World Championship, an indoor arena will be ready for use in Irkutsk. That one will also have a speed skating oval. [91] Krasnoyarsk is also one of the centres of Rugby in Russia, with 2 of the largest clubs in the country, STM Enisei and Krasny Yar, are both based in the city.

Simon: I'd never been to Moscow before. It was more beautiful than I'd imagined. The sense of power, absolute power, was tangible. Italy, a Southern European country, is home to Rome, one of the world’s oldest cities, and the heart of the once mighty Roman Empire. Italy’s artistic and architectural treasures, including the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums, contribute significantly to its unique cultural identity. With Donald Trump’s machinations in the White house and Vladamir Putin’s continuing resentment of the EU and Germany in particular, 2019 is shaping up to be an interesting year. All in all we are in for an exciting although troubling time. We have added an interactive map of Europe for 2018. We now have a Europe Map for 2019.

Their activity continued for a million years and some scientists consider it a possible cause of the " Great Dying" about 250million years ago, [19] – estimated to have killed 90% of species existing at the time.

Since 1988, experimentation at Pleistocene Park has proposed to restore the grasslands of prehistoric times by conducting research on the effects of large herbivores on permafrost, suggesting that animals, rather than climate, maintained the past ecosystem. The nature reserve park also conducts climatic research on the changes expected from the reintroduction of grazing animals or large herbivores, hypothesizing that a transition from tundra to grassland would lead to a net change in energy emission to absorption ratios. [59] The most populous city of Siberia, as well as the third most populous city of Russia, is the city of Novosibirsk. Present-day Novosibirsk is an important business, science, manufacturing and cultural center of the Asian part of Russia.

Tundra landscapes cover most of the region, where conditions are harsh because of the cold climates, and plant life is not very well supported to grow because of the harsh conditions. This has become a problem, as the unfavorable conditions make agriculture more difficult. Russia Natural Hazards: Russia has numerous natural hazards. These include volcanoes and earthquakes on the Kamchatka Peninsula, and volcanic activity in the Kuril Islands. In addition, there are spring floods and summer/autumn forest fires throughout Siberia and in parts of European Russia. Permafrost is a major obstacle to the development of most areas of Siberia. Vegetation in Siberia mostly consists of taiga, with a tundra belt on the northern fringe, and a temperate forest zone in the south.Located along the banks of Kura River, Tbilisi is the capital and the largest city of Georgia. It is the chief cultural, educational, industrial and economic center of Georgia.

Stephan (1996). Stanford University Press. p.62. ISBN 0-8047-2701-5 According to the Russian Census of 2010, the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts, located entirely east of the Ural Mountains, together have a population of about 25.6million. Tyumen and Kurgan Oblasts, which are geographically in Siberia but administratively part of the Urals Federal District, together have a population of about 4.3million. Thus, the whole region of Siberia (in the broadest usage of the term) is home to approximately 30million people. [94] It has a population density of about three people per square kilometre.Evans, Gavin (2019). Skin Deep: Dispelling the Science of Race (1ed.). Simon and Schuster. p.139. ISBN 9781786076236.

Almost all the population lives in the south, along the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The climate in this southernmost part is humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa/Dfb or Dwa/Dwb) with cold winters but fairly warm summers lasting at least four months. The annual average temperature is about 0.5°C (32.9°F). January averages about −20°C (−4°F) and July about +19°C (66°F), while daytime temperatures in summer typically exceed 20°C (68°F). [51] [52] With a reliable growing season, an abundance of sunshine and exceedingly fertile chernozem soils, southern Siberia is good enough for profitable agriculture, as was demonstrated in the early 20th century.
