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.        However, to the present studying of geography of edge, the Great Northern expedition of the 1724-1743 which conceived still by Peter I and have been carried out soon after his death has been devoted. Great Northern expedition was the enterprise grandiose. For eight years all coast from New Land to a mouth of the river of Kolyma is described and cards of coast which used prior to the beginning of our century are made.
      Deep into Tajmyra, winter of 1848 has got a nature verifier Middenderf and delivered the first scientific data on Northern Tajmyre. In a XIX-th century incidental researches of edge have been still undertaken. The imperial government did not give means for studying northern окѓраин the country, including it useless business.
      And only in a Soviet period new revival of edge, studying of its geography, productive forces and mountain riches has begun. On the basis of open mountain riches Soviet Mangazeja - a city and industrial complex Norilsk become by the economic centre of the further industrial development of Tajmyra has grown.
      Tourist development of area now in "heat". Here more many not passed canyons, ridges and passes and many non-realised variants of routes. туриѓстами the western part of area is more mastered. Here, on the lakes nearest to Norilsk (the Llama, Dog, Kutaramakan) are laid basically ring routes Ш-У to, with. Difficult routes At, У1 к.с. Should include obviously an exit on "the Putoransky dome" with the subsequent linear route towards Norilsk. Last years interest to east part of Putorana (to the east of 1701) was outlined.
