Siberia

Siberia is a very big part of Russia. It stretches from the Ural Mountains in the west all the way to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It is huge—about three-quarters of Russia's total land!

Cold and Snowy

Siberia is famous for its very cold winters. The snow can pile up high, and the temperatures often drop way down. Even though it is part of Asia, most people there have European roots, mainly Russian people. But there are also many different groups of people, like the Yakuts, Tuvans, and Buryats.

Big Cities

Some big cities in Siberia are Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Omsk. These cities are important for work, learning, and fun things to do. Siberia is divided into different parts by the Russian government, but it all stays together as one big, cold, and beautiful place.

Nature and Animals

Siberia has lots of forests, rivers, and mountains. It is home to many animals, such as Moose, Red deer, and even the big Brown bear. The forests are full of trees like the Siberian larch, which can survive the very cold weather.
