Tourist route “Rocks River Blue”

Rocks River Blue

Unique tourist route, including river rafting Matta, Blue, Lena visiting natural sites Sinskaya Posts, Lena Pillars, tukulans “Kysyl Elesin” archaeological excavations at Deering Yuriakh, the treasure of nature, of Yakutia estuary Buotama.

Matta river

Matta – quiet taiga river. Throughout flows among low wooded shores. Often there are dense spruce forest.

Matta summer much shallower. The most comfortable time to travel is the period of June – beginning of July. Matti meet a lot of debris from trees that stand in the way.

Overcome by clearing blockages or portages along the shore.

Despite his deafness Matta peculiar and beautiful river with rich flora and fauna.

Here you can see elk, deer and wild deer.
Matta River runs through the Natural Park of “Blue” (“Siine”), which was established in 1996 to preserve and increase the natural wealth of the river basin in the upper reaches of the Blue.

In the park is set differential mode protection, conservation and use, taking into account local natural, historical, cultural and social characteristics. Accordingly, in the following areas are highlighted:
The protected area (Tyytyllybat Sirder) – 238.5 thousand hectares, which prohibits all forms of economic and recreational activities are permitted only events associated with the use of arming and research.
Area bounded recreational activities -46.0 thousand hectares of land, where permitted visits are strictly controlled amounts of people.
Traditional land area – 1176 ha It consists of 2 adjacent plots: a) land use and economic active recreational activities – 352.0 thousand ha b) part of the regulated nature – 824 hectares

Our route runs through the area bounded reakratsionnoy activity that requires mandatory pre-register in the administration of the Natural Park in the village of Berdigestjah.

Kyrtas – steep coastal mountains of sand.

At the mouth of the slope of the water increases, the river is gaining speed, there are rifts

Mouth
Blue appears imperceptibly. There are two boundaries: a ulus between Highland and Khangalassky ulus, and between the natural parks of the “Blue” and “Lena Pillars”.
Blue
The local name of the river-Siine. While rafting on Matte four days (3.5), the length of the path to the mouth of 120 km. While rafting down the river – 6 days. The length of the route is 140 km. Blue (yakut. Siine) – River in Yakutia, a left tributary of the Lena River. Length of 597 km, basin area of 30,900 km ⊃ 2;. Originates and flows through Lena plateau. 48 tributaries takes longer than 10 km. The original name of the river-Syyne, which translates as “magnificent.”

During the whole of a river flaunting her beauty – majestic cliffs composed of Cambrian limestone wide variety of shapes is well placed for more than 100 kilometers. At every bend of the river on the 1-4 kilometer stretch vertical walls and pillars height of 70-100 meters, forming a figure of the most intricate shapes. Here you can see the columns, towers, arches, bridges, caves, human figures, animals and birds ….. The opposite shores are low, earthen, with a pebble and sand spits convenient for parking.

From the mouth of Matta begins the territory of the Nature Park “Lena Pillars, which includes parts of the river Blue, Buotama and Lena and stretches down to the river’s mouth Buotama.
The park is 868 hectares, fenced-off area – 468 hectares. In this area, home to 31 species of mammals – an ordinary fox, brown bear, ermine, weasel, columns, sable, wolverine, lynx, musk deer, roe deer, red deer, elk, reindeer, musk and others. Here habitats of rare animals and plants listed in the Red Data Book of Nature.

Lena Pillars on natural criteria included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site 2 July 2012.
The blue section of the river is in a remote and inaccessible place for tourists and it is safe to say that it is the crown jewel of the park protected wilderness Yakut taiga. This river is truly one of the most beautiful rivers of Yakutia and not only Russia, but also the planet. Happy are those who come into contact with this majestic beauty.

The first rock on the blue. Here is the ancient Pisanyza “Andrew.”
Pisanitsa dated 1 thousand years before our era. It shows that people in ancient times inhabit these places.

Blue Swimming Pool is rich and varied wildlife, there is very high number of elk. He can be seen in the early morning hours when they come to drink. On the banks to meet a bear, deer, hare, fox, squirrel and other inhabitants of the Yakut taiga. In the drawings of ancient people can guess the hunting scenes on these animals.

Village “The Pit” (20 km downstream from the mouth Matta), which is famous for its large fish.

Rerikh would then spent a few days 🙂

At the mouth of the River Tas Kyry in a given year can catch just such a frost

A few kilometers from the mouth of Kyry Tas tourists get to the fabulous world of rocks Blue River. This is a unique place not only in our republic and Russia, but also in the world.

Blue Fishing throughout the river.

These sections of the river can be given the common name “The Great Creator – Nature.”

Evening fishing on the Lenca.

Pisanitsa Amma Chygyn. Pisanitsa Amma Chygyn was opened in 1993 on the left bank of the Blue River, 54 km from the mouth. Here allocated nine planes with 163 illustrations (mask, fish, vertical lines, dots, etc.) made of dark red, red, light red ocher. Save the images is satisfactory.
Pisanitsa us have been found only on the third attempt, although the location was known by the scheme map.

Note that these figures differ from other forms of symmetry.

Blue – the land of love. Here the rocks are not only embrace, but the kiss.

In the grotto. Perhaps there had lived ancient people or chuchuna.

Girls is not only sunbathe …

“Golden Blue Rocks.” This color take the rocks after a rain.
Here paradise for artists, photographers …

Blue is also a paradise for lovers of fishing spinnigovoy

In the second half of the route can be found on the Blue half-wild Yakutian horses.

“Yakut natural Stonehenge”

At the mouth of the river is the village Sinskaya Blue, where you can end up hiking and motor boats to get to the village Bulgunyahtah, and from there go to Yakutsk in road transport. But our route includes other attractions Nature Park “Lena Pillars” – it ourselves Lena Pillars, excavations at the ancient site on the river man-Deering Yuriakh unique natural object – tukulans “Kysyl Elesin” river Buotama and bizonary with Canadian wood bison, located in the Buotama mouth.
Lena
Lena (yakut. Өlүөne, drill. Zүlhe) – a river in Russia, the largest river in northeastern Siberia [2], flows into the Laptev Sea. Tenth of the world’s longest river, and eighth in the world in affluent.
The length of the river – 4400 km, the basin area – 2490 thousand km

The first stop on the Lena River on the island of Hatyn Aryy.
Under favorable conditions, the water level throughout the route along the Lena River, well caught fish.

Lena Pillars

Lena Pillars – a geological formation and the natural park of the same name in Russia, on the banks of the Lena River. Located in Khangalassky District, Yakutia is 104 km from the town of Pokrovsky. Lena Pillars are stretching for miles complex vertically elongated rocks fancifully piled along the Lena River, a deep valley cut through Lena plateau.

Waterfall at the Lena Pillars

Rock formations, whose height reaches 100 meters, composed of Cambrian limestone. In tectonically Lena Pillars are in the range of the Siberian platform. Beginning of the formation of rocks, laid down the monument of nature, usually dated to the early Cambrian – 560-540 million years ago. The formation of Lena Pillars as a form of relief is dated much later period – about 400 million years ago, that is a relatively recent geological time. The territory of the Siberian platform was subjected to gradual uplift, which resulted in the occurrence of faults and the formation of deep river valleys. This led to the activation of karst processes, which, along with the continued erosion weathered rocks so whimsical and diverse forms of rocks, stacked carbonate rocks.

Deering Yuriakh
The parking area was discovered in 1982 and immediately became a sensation. The history of its discovery, as is usually the case, was preceded by a case – in 1982 in Yakutsk was to be held Geological Congress, where participants organizers had to show the most representative sections of the highest (and therefore – the most ancient) terraces of the Lena River. Kamaletdinova geologists and Hrynenko in areas Deering-Yuriakh (from Yakut – Deep River) was laid pit in which were found human skeletal remains. Geologists have contacted an archaeological expedition led by Yu Mochanov and SA Fedoseyeva that and arrived at this place. As a result, it was found that their test pits geologists partially destroyed Neolithic burial of the late Neolithic period (Ymiyakhtakh Culture II millennium BC. E. – Contemporaries of Akhenaten and Nefertiti). Here were produced work that resulted in this Neolithic burial (five burials) was fully excavated. And now – October 9, 1982, after a final showdown Neolithic layers, the bottom began to meet their guns archaic appearance, in appearance only comparable with ancient instruments oldovanskoy era. According to an archaic form of guns Mochanov dates to age of 1.8 million years, which exceeds the age of the other camps in Siberia, and is close to the age of the oldest sites of human found in Olduvai Gorge in Africa. With further research revealed that the layers diringskoy culture interspersed with layers of river Lena, whose age, according to him, was not less than 3.2 million years old. This raised the idea that the real age diringskoy culture may be even older than the Oldowan findings and, therefore, in Siberia, a man could appear earlier than in North Africa, which was regarded as still ancestral Homo habilis. It is this theory of “extra-tropical origin of man” was to stick Mochanov.

However, the results of the independent dating diringskoy culture, which were published in 1997 by American scientists (Michael R. Waters, Steven L. Forman and James M. Pierson) have shown that under the thermoluminescent analysis tools made of quartzite, with the age of the sediments ranged from cultural remains 260 thousands to 370 thousands of years.
Age of hundreds of thousands of years, certainly not as impressive as initially claimed by millions, but this dating redefines existing views on the resettlement of human ancestors. This time corresponds to the maximum glaciation of Siberia, where large glaciers partitioned off for the Lena River, forming a giant dam here. Detection of such an ancient monument in North-East Asia says about the reality of this territory as early as the Lower Paleolithic and the principal possibility of man’s entry into the Bering Strait, and then to America.

Lenski section of the route is also very The fishing

Often caught trophy pike

Тukulans
Translated from the Evenk language means tukulans sands. Tukulans “Kyhyl Elehin” is located 8 km from the mouth of the river. Buotama. Tukulans “Samys Kumagaya” 40 km from the mouth of the river. Buotama.Lishennye vegetation aeolian landforms: crescent, skoboobraznye, spear-shaped dunes, deflation basins, and instead just typical of the Central Asian desert tumbleweed – uncommon plant is endemic crested Scriabin.

At the origin of tukulans “Kyhyl Elehin” undoubtedly played a major role wind, which lifted the sand from the bottom.

Sunsets on the Lena
Spending the night on the right (east) side of the wide river provide an excellent opportunity to photograph the sunset on the river
