There are more than a hundred nature reserves in Russia. In each of them, a network of cordons is used to protect the territory, where nature protection inspectors live permanently or for several months. These people work long hours in harsh conditions alone with the wild. Who they are, what they do, what they think, this film will tell.
Cordon is located in the northern part of Lake Ayan. In the heart of the Putorana Plateau. In winter, in these regions, lying beyond the Arctic Circle, there is almost no one to protect, and there is no one from anyone - poachers do not meddle in these snowy deserts. Therefore, the cordon opens only at the very beginning of spring. However, here and in March, frosts drop below 40 degrees, reminding us of the proximity of the Arctic. You can only get here by helicopter.
The Putorana Plateau is famous for its waterfalls. When there is active melting, the waterfalls become full-flowing and spectacular. There are a huge number of them on the Putorana plateau.
The highest waterfall is 108 meters. These beautiful creations of nature are the hallmark of the Putorana Plateau. It is on them that rare tourists seek to look.
