The most raised part of the Sredne-Siberian plateau - mountains Putorana on which takes place a route. As mountains Putorana consider a basalt plateau on northwest suburb of the Sredne-Siberian plateau. It is stretched from an Arctic circle almost to 71® these and from 88® to 101® century д. (More than 500 km). In these limits the area of a province of Putorana makes 284000 клг. The average height of mountains 900 - 1200 m, and the highest - 1701 m is in their central part. The most typical line of mountains Putorana - a combination платообразных the levelled surfaces of hills and deep lake hollows, and also river valleys with каньонистыми coast. Differences in height 800 - 1000 m. In the west are most extended, the north and the east the basalt plateau breaks sharp ledges to 300 - 500 m of height to Western-Siberian and North Siberian plain and to a calcareous Kotujsky plateau. To the plateau south smoothly goes down, gradually passing to the general level of plateau with heights 500 - 700 m.        In the morning weather has not improved: the wind has amplified to 18 km/s, snow, snowstorm, visibility very weak. There is no place to go. Have constructed round tent a high snow wall.
      In second half of day the wind has gradually ceased, we обрадованно left tent and have been shaken seen - the wind is not present, there is a small snow, visibilities absolutely any: snowdrift edge near to tent we will difficultly distinguish. All around grey-white, monophonic and indiscernible. With it also have laid down to sleep.
      Having risen in 6 o'clock in the morning and having seen decent weather (the mountain Kotujsky is visible even) we have quickly gathered and left. But the sky again заволакивают clouds.
      Having gone down in a valley of the left source of the river of Kotuj have gone on it. In a valley friable snow. Тропим a ski track (for 10-15 minutes). The valley represents snow, корытообразный a canyon. Having reached for two hours from the Stone merge of the left and right sources of the river котуй повернули upwards on the left source. Visibility became very bad. The temperature has jumped up to 0® and continues to raise. You feel literally, how becomes warmer.
