On the cover:
This Landsat 7 satellite image of the Lena Delta won the 1st prize from the
International Cartographic Association at the International Map Exhibition
in Beijing in 2001. On August 12, 1996, the Russian Republic of Sakha
(Yakutia) significantly expanded the Lena Delta State Nature Reserve. At
14,330 square kilometres, the Lena Delta was already one of the largest
and most important nature reserves in the Arctic. With a new size of
61,320 square kilometres, the expanded Lena Delta Reserve is now the
largest protected area in Russia and one of the largest in the world.
GRID-Arendal and the Norwegian Mapping Authority's Environmental Unit
produced the satellite image map.
