One of the largest forests in the world stands on ice. It is situated between the Ural and the Okhotsk Sea. A well was recently dug in this region, when it was found that at a depth of 116 meters the ground was still frozen. In East Turkestan, as well as in the ex* treme north, there are almost no thunderstorms. The northern limits of thunderstorms are Cape Ogle, northern part of North America, Iceland, Noavja Semelja, and the coast of the Siberian ice sea.
