Siberia is an enormous area in north Asia spreading from the Urals in the west to mountainous ridges of the Okhotsk Sea coast in the east, from the Arctic Ocean in the north to borders with Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China in the South.
Three great rivers, the Ob, the Enisei and the Lena, flow of the territory of Siberia. The world oldest and deepest lake Baikal is found here. The world greatest lowland, the West-Siberian Plain, covers 2,7 million km of Siberian's territory. About a half of the planet's boreal forests grow here. Here is the world largest natural forests-swamp complex. Mountainous massif and highlands occupy large areas in Eastern Siberia. Mountain system border Siberia from the west, the east and the south, enclosing it from cyclones of the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.
In Siberia, latitudinal zoning of natural landscapes is well expressed. from the north to the south, tundra passes into boreal forests, forest-steppe. Mountains, characterized by vertical zoning of climate and biota, frame these landscape.
Common points for the whole Siberia are an extreme continental and often cold climate and vast permafrost areas.
The area of Siberia is greater than one-half of the area of the Russia Federation, almost equal to the area of Europe, almost a quarter of the entire Asia or 1/15 of the whole land of the Earth. In dimensions, population density and climatic conditions, Siberia is mostly similar to Canada.
Its population, residing mainly along the Trans-Siberian Railway and in the south, amounts to 15% of the whole Russia population. It is the most northern, the coldest and the least populated part of Siberia that is fraught with immense natural riches.
One of the most attractive places in Siberia is a Lake Baikal. Baikal is one of the most interesting water reservoirs in the world. Baikal has a surface equal to the territory of Belgium and Holland taken together. For its area Lake Baikal is the eighth in the world. But it is the world's deepest lake, and because of its immense depth of up to 1,620 meters it holds 23,000 cubic kilometres of water-more than Baltic Sea and nearly as much as the Great Lakes of America. Baikal is the largest fresh-water reservoir on the globe, holding almost o fifth of its total amount.
The people of Siberia habitually refer to Baikal as «the sea».
Development of Siberia, since its joining Russia in late XVI century has always been associated with exploitation of its natural resources: first fur, then lands and noble metals, now mostly raw materials and power resources.
