Lena Pillars, Natural monument near Lena River, Sakha Republic, Russia
The vertical rock formations extend for kilometers along the Lena River banks, reaching heights of 220 meters above the water surface.
The limestone structures developed through natural erosion over 400 million years, preserving Cambrian era fossils within their layered formations.
The indigenous Yakut people incorporate these natural formations into their traditional stories about the creation of their ancestral lands.
River cruises from Yakutsk operate between June and September, offering direct access to view these geological formations from multiple angles.
The temperature variations at the pillars range from minus 60 degrees Celsius in winter to plus 35 degrees Celsius in summer.
