Заповедник "Усть-Ленский", Nature reserve in Bulunsky District, Russia
The Ust-Lensky Nature Reserve encompasses 14,330 square kilometers of Arctic tundra, water bodies, and mountain ranges at the Lena River delta.
The reserve was established on December 18, 1985, following two decades of scientific research and environmental protection initiatives in the Sakha Republic.
The territory holds deep connections to Yakut traditions, where local communities consider the 114-meter Stolb Island within the reserve a dwelling of spirits.
Access to the reserve requires permits obtained months in advance, with visits possible through organized tours from July to August via Tiksi settlement.
The reserve contains 402 vascular plant species and serves as a migration point for Arctic wildlife, including white bears and walruses of the Laptev Sea.
