A giant natural stress reliever has been found in Yakutia Frost heave mounds, bulgunnyakhs, dumplings: these are just a few of the names for this place in the Republic of Yakutia, located in the Kolyma Lowland. Let's explore what these strangely shaped formations are and why they attract tourists. These wonderful "dumplings" are located in Yakutia, in the Churapchinsky district, near the Kolyma Highway. For the permafrost zone, this is a typical picture. In general, in our country, there are more than six thousand such mounds, which often become the main subjects of research by Russian scientists. Natural dumplings can be very low or reach the height of a 25-story building and can spread up to 200 meters wide – such giants can easily be mistaken for mountains. In Yakutia, such mounds are called "bulgunnyakh" – a rather difficult word to remember, especially for visitors, so in recent years they have been called natural pop-it – all thanks to the external resemblance to the stress-relief toy. The perfectly aligned "field" attracts tourists from all over the world and photographers. Where do these mounds come from? Such hills can grow up to 80 meters high and several hundred meters in diameter. They formed naturally. Underground waters freeze in the form of a lens, and the ice pushes the earth above it. Sometimes the permafrost melts and depressions form. They can grow for many years, gradually increasing in size. The giant natural pop-it looks no less epic in summer: the green hills turn the surroundings into a real elven land. It is most convenient to include this location in a road trip through Yakutia. Here are the coordinates: 68.878127 154.110127. It is best to go on such a trip with a local guide or with a tour group.
