Major Cities!!! Helvetinjärvi National Park is situated in a closed canopy taiga in Finland. In the southern part of the taiga, there are a couple of major cities, such as Moscow, Toronto,Anchorage,and Murmansk. These are some of the major cities visited and are popular. These places are peaceful some of them are busy. Currently there are no taiga biomes in the U.S. if you look at the picture above the map you will see that the taiga is the darkest green and there is only a few shades of dark green.
