Siberia is a vast region, mostly in the territory of Russia, and it is divided into three large regions.

Western Siberian Plain/Lowland

Central Siberian Plateau

Occupies the central part of Siberia, and it is mostly dominated by a plateau which gains in height on the southern part and is lowering on the northern part. The lower parts are covered with the taiga, while the higher are barren. The northern part is dominated by the tundra.

East Siberian Highlands
