Tunguska Nature Reserve, Protected natural area in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.
The reserve encompasses 296,562 hectares of taiga forest on the Central Siberian Plateau, featuring deep river valleys and elongated mountain ridges.
The area gained scientific importance after the 1908 Tunguska event, when a meteorite explosion affected over 2,000 square kilometers of forest.
Archaeological discoveries within the reserve include Neolithic period artifacts from 3,000-4,000 BC, demonstrating early human settlements in this region.
Access to the reserve requires advance permits from the director, with transportation limited to foot, water routes, or scheduled helicopter flights.
The reserve contains Lake Cheko, located 8 kilometers from the explosion center, which scientists study as a potential impact crater.
