Tomsk Oblast

The Ob River and its broad floodplain define much of Tomsk Oblast - waterways, taiga and wetlands have long shaped settlement, transport and resource industries. This vast section of the West Siberian Plain is marked by forests, marshes and numerous tributaries, with long winters central to its seasonal rhythm. Tomsk, the oblast capital, was founded in 1604 and is noted for its surviving wooden architecture and academic life, including Tomsk State University. Forestry and oil and gas production remain important to the regional economy. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Tomsk Oblast.
