This week we are in Siberia. Siberia is also known as North Asia, extending from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific basin. Siberia extended southward down Kazakhstan and northward to the Artic Ocean. Siberia is over thirteen million square miles of land, home to over forty million residents. Siberia is very sparsley populated. Siberia accounts for almost eighty percent of Russia's land area.
Siberia is home to many different biomes: coniferous forest, taiga, tundra, and mountainous regions. A majority of Siberia is located in the Aritc circle, leaving long, cold winters and short summers. Siberia has reached eighty nine degrees below zero in the winter of 1933. Siberia is also home to the Siberian tiger, an animal that is close to being extinct.
