4X4 Off-Road Driving From the Barents Sea to the White Sea (KP-02) |
 |
A once-in-a- lifetime chance to reach the farthest corners of the Arctic Circle by four-wheel-drive, either army bus or car! Driving through the mysterious landscapes of the Russian north, you’ll feel like a real pioneer in this deserted untouched, and extraordinarily attractive part of Russia. The Kola Peninsula is one of the most enigmatic places on Earth, with a rich history and breath-taking views of the wild tundra and the stern Arctic Sea coast. The tour route is a mix of different roads, from asphalt to old forest roads and even along sandy beaches and dunes.
We visit places inaccessible by any other type of vehicles, such as the old villages of the Pomor (a local people with a unique culture) on the White Sea Coast, or Stalin’s labour camps from the 1930’s and 1940’s, in the tundra. Deserted after Stalin’s death these camps have remained untouched since then, and the whole area of the Kola peninsula was closed to visitors for many years, to maintain the secrets of Stalin’s era. You’llhave spectacular views from a point 1,100 meters high, in the Lovozero Mountains. There will also be delicious traditional meals cooked over a campfire, the midnight sun, and the culture of the beautiful Kola Peninsula, this unique and mysterious part of the Russian north, waiting to be discovered by you!
