Because Russia spans such a wide territory, it has a diverse mix of landscapes. For example, it contains deserts in the southwest to tundra in the north. Overall, Siberia occupies three-quarters of Russia. Despite its massive landmass and frozen land, forests still cover 44% of the land area, which adds up to 882 million hectares. This makes it the most heavily forested country in the world.
