More information about the video content bellow:
1. Altai Krai is in a region Western Siberia. It is located to the north-west of the semi-autonomous Altai Republic. Both regions are named after the stunningly beautiful Altai mountains and are home to the Altai people, an ethnically Turkic group living in the region for over 10,000 years.

2. Russian settlement of the Upper Ob and Altai foothills began in the 2nd half of the 17th century.

3. Barnaul is a city and the administrative center of Altai Krai.

4. The Altai Mountains are on the UNESCO World Heritage list, but tourists are drawn to Altai Krai by its breathtaking beauty, regardless of any lists.

5. The valley of the Chulyshman River is known for its stunning panoramas, which can be seen from Katu-Yaryk pass. The length of the road leading to this pass is only 3.5 km (1.9 mi). Elevation changes are 800 m (2625 ft). In fact, it is the road just for one car. Drivers should be extremely careful. Only an experienced one, driving an all-wheel drive vehicle with speed reduction gear, can pass through this road. However, all dangers are justified by beautiful panoramas.

6. Altai is an extraordinary place, which is almost impossible to pass by while travelling from east to west and vice versa. The Denisova Cave, which is located there, is truly unique. Due to its specific properties, it was fit for living and has been used by different species of humans (Neanderthals and modern humans) for near 300 thousands of years. It is the very place, where a few years ago a new species of human, a Denisovan, was discovered!

7. Siberia is freezing but it’s also super hot. There is nothing new here: Siberia is freaking cold, but it can be super hot too. If you go on a winter adventure you will be exposed to negative temperatures only when you are outside, and you can fight the cold weather with some winter gear.
