Petersburg. To continue the narrative of the expedition. On the 5th September, after crossing to the right bank of the Kolym, as the horses had only arrived the day before, they were not able to go far, but started due south in the direction of the Plate Mountain, which Hertz judged to be about 1, 500 feet high so called because it partly resembles an inverted plate. They crossed the tundra very slowly and made only 12 versts (eight miles) before camping for the night. September 6th. Continued ...our journey south to Plate Mountain, which lies. 20 versts to the east of the river Kolym, where we first surmounted a height 1, 120 feet, and then a still higher one 1, 365 feet, forming the Eastern spur of Plate Mountain, consequently not much lower than the highest point. The Taiga, east of the Kolym river, over which we passed, had long since been burnt without creating the customary under- growth. Everywhere burnt stumps obstructed our route, which was most difficult for our pack horses. On the higher parts of the mountain-side grow alnus bushes and pinus cembra pumilo (Siberian cedar) the fruit of which grows to a very small size and is unedible.
