Trans-Siberian
Across the tundra
Trans-Siberian refers to things crossing Siberia, the vast region of northern Asia.
Almost always it describes the Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest rail line in the world, connecting Moscow to Vladivostok on Russia's Pacific coast: We took the Trans-Siberian from Moscow to Beijing.
The route has become iconic for epic overland journeys.
