Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Far North-East Siberia "Look! There is a glimpse of Kolyma! What a delightful place it is!" Thus with pride, mingled with affection, speaks your native guide when, on your journey from Yakutsk to Sredne Kolymsk, you reach the top of the Alazeisky Range, which forms the natural boundary of the two districts of Verkhoyansk and Kolymsk. Strong as may be your desire to reach Sredne Kolymsk, you will probably consider that the native, in his patriotism, exaggerates somewhat, for it is difficult to imagine anything more depressing than the view of the Kolyma district as seen from the Alazeisky Range. The mountains themselves are not high, only about 3,000 feet, but the intense cold blights all vegetation except at the base. Ascending, one comes from time to time upon weak, thin larches, strangely spiral, the effect of the cold, which here reaches a terrible degree(60 Cent, and even lower). The mountain tops are bare.
