Every year, more and more often, people come to us from abroad to look at such a part of the world as the Russian Tundra. But, not everyone can afford such a trip. With this article, you will visit the Tundra, a mysterious and inaccessible place.
The climate of the Russian tundra
Let's start by dispelling people's myths that the climate of the tundra is terribly cold. Despite the comments from the local population, indeed, the weather here can be very warm. This year, in the summer, the number of degrees Celsius exceeded +44! It was really incredible, because two weeks ago it was still snowing in some places, and in July people swim in the river.
Winter is very unpredictable, there has been a series of changes lately, and this year it was warm. But this also brought huge disasters. In March, the weather was terrible due to the fact that warm air masses collided with cold ones from the south. Yes, it is from the south. When it was broadcast on TV that some cities were suffering frosty attacks, it was warm in the north, and all the people were wearing light hats... What happened? A hurricane-force wind gust formed, which reached almost 40 m/s, with a temperature of about -36. As you can see, the climate of the tundra is quite diverse.
Snowfall is very frequent, which leads to snowdrifts 7-11 meters high (but not everywhere!). The weather here is very deceptive, if it is warm and sunny today, then you can safely say that tomorrow there will be a blizzard. Also, if there is no wind on the hill, then there may be a real blizzard of 15 m/s below.
Blizzards can be both mild, warm, and severe, when gusts of wind can disrupt an adult… So you need to have a good weight, physical fitness, and warm clothes, always with extra ones.
Animals of the tundra
By the way, the wildlife of the tundra zone is very diverse.: These are rodents, predators, and herbivores. The most prized animal is the deer. Reindeer herds can reach 5,000 heads. Deer meat is the purest in the world. Many countries order this meat because it is delicious, clean and plentiful. Deer blood is a great source of vitamins. Some athletes drink deer blood on purpose.
There are fewer and fewer predators, as they are shot by local shepherds (reindeer herders). The Northern wolf is almost invisible, he is in the woods. There were very few wolverines, and wild cats were almost completely exterminated. And, of course, it is impossible to imagine the tundra without arctic foxes. Arctic foxes are amazing creatures. They do not attack people, but they are trusting of fishermen, and they are not averse to eating fish. Arctic foxes have snow-white skins, and it is almost impossible to spot them in the snow, unless they have a black nose.
Frequent visitors are seagulls, but they are called ruts. And many other animals: lemming, white owl, partridges, shaggy-legged buzzard, sandpiper, red-throated goose, gaga, mariner, punochka. As you can see, the wildlife of the tundra zone is represented by a large number of different animals.
Fish are beginning to disappear, there are fewer and fewer of them, although poachers are being caught, the fish factories still do not even look at the constant reduction of fish schools for their profits. The fish in the northern rivers are very large and tasty.
Vegetation of the tundra
The nature is very beautiful, despite the scarcity of flora. But, nevertheless, what are the characteristic plants of the tundra of Russia? It's a great feeling when you stand and see endless, green fields, slightly diluted with dwarf birches, all the way to the horizon. There are a lot of mosses in the tundra, the most valuable is yagel, this moss can grow for centuries. It comes out of the soil effortlessly, the roots look like an elderly man's beard.
Northern sorrel also grows, it does not differ in taste from sorrel, which grows in vegetable gardens, only in smaller dimensions. Berries also grow: cloudberries, lingonberries. Mushrooms also grow, but they have no taste or smell. Come and explore the wonderful world of the tundra and experience the beauty of relaxation away from the noise of civilization!
