Talnikovy Waterfall, Waterfall in Putorana Plateau, Russia
The Talnikovy Waterfall extends 600 meters across fifteen cascading steps, making it the highest waterfall in both Russia and Asia.
The waterfall remained unknown to researchers until the 1970s when explorer Mikhail Afanasyev documented its existence through local residents' accounts.
The waterfall forms part of the Putorana Plateau UNESCO World Heritage site, representing the natural diversity of northern Siberia.
Access to the waterfall requires special permits from the Putoransky Reserve administration in Norilsk and transportation by helicopter or boat.
The seasonal waterfall flows for only two months annually from the Table Mountain Trapeziya, feeding the waters of Lake Dyupkun.
