The archipelago of the Body is a pearl necklace of the White Sea.

As if a stone giant, passing by, threw a handful of gems into the sea, and now two dozen islands are drifting across the vast expanses of water.

Tundra–covered cliffs, glacier-smoothed stone foreheads of rocks, mirrors of relict swamps, miniature trees hiding from the winds in crevices - every step up the slope of the German Body Island (the highest mark in the entire Karelian White Sea) opens up new, stunningly beautiful landscapes.

Around the "stone women", in the distance – the parking lot of an ancient man, striking the imagination
