Zhebariki-Khaya

Zhebariki-Khaya lies beside the Aldan, south of Khandyga, where the river winds through the forested country of eastern Siberia. Larch, spruce, pine and birch grow in the surrounding landscape, with poplars and shrubs along the river valleys. Winter is long and severe, while summer is short and warm; the Aldan freezes in autumn before the spring thaw releases its waters again.
