When in Central Russia people suffer from unbearable heat, residents of Yamal enjoy the cold. Despite the harsh weather, they live here very good people, who gave this place its name. They call the Yamal Peninsula “The End of the Earth,” because that is how its name is translated from Nenets.
The first mention of the Yamal land dates back to the 11th century, but Novgorod merchants managed to get there earlier. Their references to the northern lands were fantastic. Travelers spoke of squirrels and deer that fell to the ground like raindrops from clouds. It was from this moment that the popularity of Yamal began to grow.
In order to finally conquer the rich northern lands, Tsar Fedor sent a campaign in 1592. A few years later, a Cossack detachment created a fortification called Obdorsk. Today everyone knows this place as Salekhard, a city that is the capital of the Yamalo-Nenets Okrug. After the northern lands were conquered and passed to Russia, the rapid growth of the power of this state began.
The northernmost and coldest peninsula of Russia is located on the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets District. It ranks fourth in size, washed by the Kara Sea on three sides, as well as by the Baydaratskaya and Ob Bays. The last lip separates the main part of the mainland from the peninsula.
The flora here is represented only by tundra and forest-tundra areas. Flora is made up low growing shrubs, mosses, trees, lichens and herbaceous plants. Animal and vegetable world They are very poor here, but there is a lot of fish.
The peninsula is famous for its unrivaled cold beauty and untrodden lands. Believe me, the spectacle is impressive. Guests come here from all over the country to see this area. The impressions are sometimes so strong that people who come for six months decide to stay here forever.
Yamal is located beyond the Arctic Circle, which greatly influences its climate. Summer on the peninsula can be compared, rather, to a thaw, since the temperature is +6, although in the tundra in July it can reach 30 degrees Celsius.
The land on the peninsula is permafrost, where the tundra is represented as a swampy plain. There are a lot of small lakes in Yamal that are suitable for economic activity. Valuable species of salmon fish live here.

This change affects the psychosomatic state of the individual, as a result of which the person becomes more hospitable, kinder, more responsive and affectionate. In such difficult conditions it is impossible to survive by remaining a wolf, so there is nothing surprising in the changes.
Many people call the Yamal Peninsula gas cylinder, but residents are not offended by this comic nickname. They only correct them by saying that they autonomous region is the gas heart of Russia. There really is so much gas here that it even comes to the surface.
Photographs were taken here of a funnel with a diameter of 60 meters. This a natural phenomenon made this place famous, but did not surprise experts at all. Such craters very often appear in permafrost, which contains a large supply of natural gas. The Yamal Peninsula is just such a place. A photo of the famous funnel is in front of you.
