Trig.pm: Don't negatively judge Siberia in pod

The pod referred to a point as being in "frozen wastes".  But that
judgement is a distraction from the point of the text, and not actually
true.

I looked at the spot in Google Maps.  This area in the summer is
verdant, with many rivers and lakes.   It is part of the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putorana_Plateau.  The closest place I
could (without expending much effort) find a non-satellite photograph
of is 60km away:

Doesn't seem like a wasteland to me.

And for history buffs, the plateau contains part of the Siberian Traps,
remnants of volanic eruptions generally implicated as a cause of the
largest known extinction event, terminating the Permian.
