Udokan Plateau, Volcanic plateau in Transbaikalia, Russia
The Udokan Plateau extends across 3,000 square kilometers northeast of Lake Baikal, featuring basaltic lava flows and numerous volcanic cones throughout the landscape.
Initial geological surveys of the plateau occurred in 1857 when Lieutenant A.F. Usoltsev of the Russian Imperial Army conducted mapping expeditions in the region.
The indigenous populations near the Udokan Plateau developed their traditions and practices in accordance with the harsh climate and mountainous environment.
The area experiences extreme temperature variations, requiring visitors to bring specialized cold-weather equipment and coordinate transportation arrangements in advance.
Scientific studies have identified anomalies in the asthenosphere beneath the plateau, indicating variations in lithospheric thickness that influence volcanic processes.
