Documentation and confirmation of the reported Tatare River forestfall

Determine the existence, location, and characteristics of the forestfall reportedly near the Tatare River (approximately 100–150 km southeast of the Tunguska epicenter) mentioned in memoirs of Kulik’s 1939 expedition, and assess whether it occurred in connection with the 1908 Tunguska event.

Background

The paper recounts a memoir indicating that L. A. Kulik dispatched participants to inspect another forestfall near the Tatare River, but the attempt failed due to bad weather. The author states no further information is available about this forestfall, beyond an approximate distance from the epicenter.

Confirming and documenting this forestfall would refine the map of damage associated with the Tunguska event and clarify whether additional, lesser-known forestfalls occurred contemporaneously.
