Description
Summary:The Taymyr Peninsula, having Cape Chelyuskin for its northernmost point, reaches 77 deg 43 min N; this peninsula is the northernmost projection not only in Eurasia but also in the entire world. The vegetation, the animal kingdom, and particularly the Taymyr soils, have been poorly studied. At the same time, certain data provide evidence that the tundra lands on Laymyr, especially its western and central parts, abound in wild game and birds. As yet, their development is the most realistic form of involving the tundra biogeocenoses in economic use. However, the development of industry in the southern part of the peninsula will require the organization of a local dairy and vegetable base for the growing population.
