Talk:Extreme points of Russia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pevek is hardly the northernmost town. Tiksi is at 71 38 N... I know there are towns even further north.... -Rolypolyman 22:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

According to our article, Tiksi is defined as a "settlement", not a "town". I suspect that other more northerly places have not been awarded town status. Warofdreams talk 02:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

The highest point in the Soviet Union was Ismoil Somoni Peak or Communism Peak. That is another extreme point that changed when the soviet union collapsed.

[edit] Lake Baikal

Is over than -1600m high.84.250.39.218 (talk) 22:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• This refers to the bottom of the lake, while elevation extremes refer to the land. Goudzovski (talk) 14:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Westernmost and easternmost points

The westernmost and easternmost points should be anywhere along the 180th meridian in far east (and west) of Russia. It is more correct for easternmost and westernmost points to be defined by the 180th meridian, not by the International Date Line. 83.131.14.122 (talk) 10:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• which does not mean that an area crossing the 0th or 180th meridian does not have the westernmost and easternmost points at all. I have restored this information. Goudzovski (talk) 16:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
