The goal of our travel is the village Teriberka (1523) on the Barents Sea shore. Teriberka is a mix of mysticism, wild northern nature, pre-Soviet and Soviet heritage. We will watch the village, meet life of the inhabitants, visit a small local beer factory, watch the famous “ship cemetery”.

Then we go further to the shore. You will see fjords, a bay of round stones called “shore of dragon eggs”, hike to a waterfall going down to the see from a top of rock and to a place where old cannons are still standing on a high plateau guarding the shore since the time of the Second World War.
