Ob Plateau, Altai Krai. The east–west "spikes" are ravines in the surface of the area; they lie slightly lower than the surrounding, lighter-toned agricultural lands. The dark zones are forested with pines and dotted with salt-rich lakes. The image shows a distance of a little more than 300 km (190 mi) from left to right, and the forested spikes are nearly that length. Barnaul is at center right, on the Ob River.
