Olkhinskoye plateau, Geological formation in Eastern Siberia, Russia.

The Olkhinskoye Plateau extends across the Irkutsk Oblast region with elevated terrain patterns, exposed rock formations, and mineral deposits from the Siberian Craton.

The plateau contains Precambrian rocks dating back billions of years, revealing the complex tectonic changes and geological transformations that shaped Eastern Siberia.

Indigenous Siberian tribes maintain their traditional practices in the plateau region, utilizing natural resources while adapting to the environmental conditions.

Visitors need extensive preparation for exploring the plateau due to its remote location, limited infrastructure, and seasonal weather variations in Eastern Siberia.

The geological structure displays a combination of ancient sedimentary processes and metamorphic activity, creating distinct landforms through glacial erosion.
