Abstract
Northeast Eurasia is a vast, remote territory with the most severe climate in the northern hemisphere. The lowest recorded temperature in the hemisphere (−71°C) was recorded in northeast Eurasia at Oimyakon. In this region, the role of cryogenesis in soil formation and soil distribution is most pronounced.
