Vanavara is the closest settlement to the site of the Tunguska meteorite fall. About 60 kilometers away. And no wonder. After all, apart from this small Evenki village, for hundreds of kilometers around there is nothing but the remote Siberian taiga. Scientists from all over the world are still arguing about what happened in June 1908 in the area of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River. And the residents of Vanavara itself are not averse to debating the causes of the incredibly powerful explosion that knocked down trees for thousands of kilometers around and which is now commonly called the Tunguska meteorite. Vanavara cannot be reached by land. There are no roads in these places, and no trains run here. The only way to communicate with the outside world is by small aircraft. The village has its own airfield, where propeller planes land several times a week. They deliver here not only people, but also everything necessary for survival in this remote Siberian village. *** Subscribe to CURRENTTIME.DOC - / currenttimedoc #Tunguska_meteorite #deforestation #taiga
