Yenisei
The Yenisei is the largest river system flowing into the Arctic Ocean and the fifth-longest river in the world, originating in Mongolia and carving a massive, 3,445-kilometer (2,141-mile) path straight through the heart of Siberia. As it flows northward through remote, frozen landscapes and dense taiga forests, it serves as a crucial transportation artery for central Russia, though it remains locked under thick ice for more than half the year.
