Lena Pillars, Sakha Republic

Location: Lena Pillars, Sakha Republic, Siberia, Russia This video was taken from the top of the mountain, looking down on the Lena River. The pillars are 150–300 metres (490–980 ft) high, and were formed in some of the Cambrian period sea-basins. The Lena Pillars Nature Park was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2012. The site lies less than a day’s boat ride upriver (south) from the city of Yakutsk, the capital of the autonomous Sakha Republic
