		The depth of the snow cover in the western plains of Taimyr is 60-80 cm; in the east of the Peninsula, the snow cover depth is 50-60 cm; and in taiga, 30-50 cm.
		The characteristic features of Taimyr’s vegetation cover are the poor development of lichens, except in the forest-tundra sub zone, the northernmost location of the forests and consequent shift of all latitudinal boundaries.
		Taimyr is characterized with a unique combination of animal cenoses typical for the zonal continental tundras, as well as their island and mountain invariants.

	Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous Area - Kommersant Moscow
		The Taimyr Autonomous Area occupies the Taimyr Peninsula to its extreme end at Chelyuskin Cape (including the islands between the Yenisei Gulf and Khatanga Gulf), the northern part of the Central Siberian Plateau, and the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago.
		The Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous Area was formed on December 10, 1930, as part of Krasnoyarsk Territory by a resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK).
		The Taimyr Autonomous Area has been one of the least socioeconomically developed subjects of the Russian Federation in all macroeconomic indicators from the time it was formed.

		It is the land of Selma Lagerloef's children's fairy tales, ruled by the Snow Queen, and the place from which Santa Claus sets off each Christmas on his reindeer driven sleigh to deliver his presents.
		At the beginning of the 1930s, the Lapland mountain and taiga reserve was founded here, to the west of the central peninsula area in the regions of Chunozera and Monche-tundra.
		On the Kola Peninsula, where the lives and livelihoods of the population are entirely dependent on the development of heavy industry, the Lapland National Park and MMC Kola have also found a way of coexisting.

		Their seasonal presence in different parts of the peninsula as part of this ancient migratory process has been revealed by many scientific investigations to be crucial to maintaining the web of life in the tundra ecosystem, including habitat heterogeneity, that is responsible for supporting the peninsula’s diversity of life.
		Clearly, the conservation paradigm in the Taimyr is shifting from an expensive, centralized, government-supported effort to "control" nature to a paradigm that emphasizes natures preeminent role in managing herself and seeks to conserve the natural ecological processes that sustain biodiversity in the Peninsula.
		The peninsula is struggling to develop a new market-based economy in the aftermath of the collapsed, state-supported economy from the Soviet period.

		The Dolgans inhabit an area in the southern part of the Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) National Territory, in the Khatanga and Pyassina river basins, and to a lesser extent on the Yenisey (the Dudinka district).
		As late as the 17th century the Taimyr Peninsula was occupied by Samoyedic tribes.
		One of the reasons for migration was the fact that Russian goods, flour, for instance, were coming to the Taimyr Peninsula by the boats on the Lena.

	Protecting The Environment \| Norilsk Nickel
		There are plans to close down the outdated production facilities at the Polar Division (on the Taimyr Peninsula), namely the agglomeration plant and the smelting section at the Nikel works, which emit sulphur in "poor" gases that are difficult to utilise in any way.
		In order to reduce the level of harmful pollutants and to substantially improve the ecological situation at MMC Kola, on the Kola Peninsula, MMC Norilsk Nickel is working together with the Norwegian government on a project for the reconstruction of the Pechenganikel Combine's smelting operations.
		On the Kola Peninsula, sulphur dioxide emissions will be reduced by more than 90 per cent by the middle of 2006 (as compared with present levels).

		Evolution of the Taimyr Peninsula (Arctic Siberia) and the Implications for Surrounding Hydrocarbon Basins
		The Taimyr Peninsula lies on the Arctic margin of Siberia, and is cored by a fold-and-thrust belt that exposes rocks from Proterozoic to Cretaceous age.
		Taimyr is surrounded by proven and potential hydrocarbon basins (West Siberian Basin, Yenisey-Khatanga Trough, Kara Sea, Laptev Sea) and contains vital information with which to understand the evolution of these basins since Late Paleozoic time.

		The Taimyr Peninsula consists of various structures in terms of its geological & landscape conditions.
		The conditions for karst development have been quite emerged within the central part of the Taimyr Peninsula, although some karst forms of the Byrrangae Mountains have been obliterated due to glacial abrasion processes, including those which occurred within the last millenium, whilst the Arctic climate has rendered active modern karst process development as impossible.

		Hence, the transgression of the beginning of Late Pleistocene on the Taimyr Peninsula was not confined by the stage 5e of global oxygen isotopic scale but has to be timed as the entire stage 5, and a deep regression with the dropdown of sea level below modern occurred only at the stage 2.
		Several new dates from the Lena Delta Region and Taimyr Peninsula show that the environmental conditions were suitable in Holocene for the wide muskox' distribution.
		Recent results from Kola area also indicate that the Kola Peninsula, west of the Kanin Peninsula, was covered by the SIS and not by the Barents ice sheet as suggested recently by Grosswald and Hughes (2002).

		Although there was evidence of wide-spread synchrony in the lemming cycle across the Taimyr Peninsula, some localities showed differences.
		However, such sites would still have been influenced by the general pattern of fox abundance in the typical tundra zone of the Taimyr Peninsula, where most of the arctic foxes breed and from which extensive movements of foxes occur after a decline in lemming numbers.
		The results support a prey-switching hypothesis (also known as the alternative prey hypothesis) whereby arctic foxes, and other predators, feed largely on lemmings when these are abundant or increasing, but switch to birds when the lemming population is small or declining.

	IGCP 415: Working Group 1
		Significant progress has been made in solving the problem of age of the last ice sheet in the Taimyr Peninsula by H. Hubberten and his colleagues.
		In general, the recent data on the Taimyr Peninsula are in full accord with the conclusion, based on previous Russian results, that the last ice sheet of Arctic Siberia reached its maximum during isotope stage 4, and since then no ice dam has blocked discharge of Siberian rivers into the Arctic Ocean (Astakhov, 1992, 1998).
		The periglacial evidence and dating of sediments from atop the uppermost till indicate an Early Weichselian age for the last ice sheet of the Pechora Basin and Polar Urals.
