SATELLITE IMAGERY
Russia Satellite Map
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.
The country spans several climate types like temperate continental in the southeast and a cool tundra to the north. Russia is also home to Lake Baikal, which is the world’s deepest lake, holding one-fifth of the world’s fresh surface water. At a length of 37,653 kilometers (23,396 mi), Russia also has the fourth-longest coastline along three different oceans.
