Northern Asia
Russia's frozen interior
Northern Asia is the vast region comprising the Asian portion of Russia, primarily Siberia and the Russian Far East.
The area stretches from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, characterized by tundra, taiga forests, and extreme continental climate.
The term appears mainly in geographic and demographic contexts: Northern Asia remains one of the most sparsely populated regions on Earth.
