Yenisei River Cruise, Siberia, Russia (Part 1)
Yenisei River (Yenisey, Енисей) is considered the 7th largest river on our planet and the 2nd in Russia. The river is almost 5,500 kilometres (3,420 miles) long. Its watershed, which includes Lake Baikal, holds more water than any other river system. Yenisei's tributaries include famous Angara, Nizhnyaya Tunguska, and Tuba rivers.[ Yenisei (Yenisey, Енисей) rises in the mountains of Russia near the Mongolian border and flows generally northward through Siberia into the Kara Sea, Arctic Ocean. The river is often considered the boundary between Western and Eastern Siberia. The Yenisei and its tributaries are rich in fish, including salmon and sturgeon. As the river flows north towards the sea it travels through taiga forests which change into a tundra.

The famous Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen used to dream about the creation of the Land of the Future, in the centre of Siberia. The major city in this area should have been Yeniseysk.
The central theme of the film The Land of the Future is the life of a community of Old Believers at the watershed of two great rivers of Siberia, the Ob River and the Yenisey River, where the Ket-Kas Canal was constructed a hundred years ago. Has Nansen's dream come true? This is what the film shows us.
Ob River, Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia
Ob River (Обь) is a river in Siberia, Russia. One of the greatest rivers of Asia, the Ob flows north and west across western Siberia in a twisting diagonal from its sources in the Altai Mountains to its outlet through the Gulf of Ob into the Kara Sea of the Arctic Ocean. It is a major transportation artery, crossing territory at the heart of Russia that is extraordinarily varied in its physical environment and population. Even allowing for the barrenness of much of the region surrounding the lower course of the river and the ice-clogged waters into which it discharges, the Ob drains a region of great economic potential. The Ob proper is formed by the junction of the Biya and Katun rivers, in the foothills of the Siberian sector of the Altai, from which it has a course of 2,268 miles (3,650 km). If, however, the Irtysh River is regarded as part of the main course rather than as the Ob’s major tributary, the maximum length, from the source of the Black (Chorny) Irtysh in China’s sector of the Altai, is 3,362 miles (5,410 km), making the Ob the seventh longest river in the world.
