Description:
Just 80 km (50 miles) south of Yakutsk is the Lena Pillars Nature Park. The best way to get to the park is by boat, boarding in Yakutsk and the heading south along the Lena River until you arrive at the nature park. Lena Pillars is a natural rock formation dating back to the Paleozoic Era, and in places it is more than 300 meters (980 feet) tall. This creates epic views from the water, but it is also worth heading onshore to do some hiking around the base of the pillars and near the top. The rugged outcrops contain layers of limestone, dolomite and slate, creating even more interest and visual appeal.
