Kytalyk National Park

The park encompasses 1,885,554 hectares of Arctic tundra, featuring thermokarst formations, pingos, and extensive peat bogs across the Yana-Indigirka lowlands.

The national park received its official designation on December 24, 2019, as part of Russia's national project Ecology to establish protected natural areas.

The park's name derives from the Yakut language word for Siberian crane, reflecting the deep connection between local wildlife and indigenous traditions.

Visitors need to coordinate with park administration in Chokurdakh for access permits and transportation arrangements due to the remote Arctic location.

The southern section contains the Berelekh mammoth cemetery, a natural deposit holding remains of more than 140 prehistoric mammoths.
