Krasnye Kamny, Protected area near Norilsk, Russia

The Krasnye Kamny features two mountains rising 600 meters high in a horseshoe formation, with distinctive red-brown volcanic rock walls.

The establishment of Krasnye Kamny as a protected area on September 21, 1981 marked a commitment to preserve the natural resources of the Russian Far North.

The Evenk people of the region named the surrounding Kharaelakh mountain massif as 'Spruce Stone', reflecting their connection to the landscape.

Located at coordinates 69.480833 latitude and 88.531111 longitude, the area provides opportunities for hiking, climbing, and nature photography throughout the year.

The canyon maintains substantial ice formations on its lakes even during summer months, creating an exceptional Arctic landscape within the Putorana Plateau region.

Inception: September 21, 1981

GPS coordinates: 69.48083,88.53111
