Rank : 10.0 (average on 2 votes)

Coordinates : 70.634998, 29.722765 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The main subjects are mainly birds and depend on the period. During the winter the main subjects are Common Edredone, King of Eiders, Edredons of Steller and Morette codon. In late spring, from the end of May onwards it fills up with all possible limics imaginable nesting in that area. Other subjects may be port environments and ships of Russian and Norwegian fishing fleets

Recommended equipment : Animals need long optics, although from the floating huts that you can rent on site there are situations where you can make portraits even with a 24mm

Best months : All year except during the period of the middle polar night due to the total lack of light. In fact, at the end of the polar night the light of the very long morning and evening auroras guarantees situations of poor but beautiful light with all the shades of color from deep blue to pastel pink. Only when the sun begins to peep over the horizon does the spectrum of colors stretch to orange and gold.

How to get there : There is a small local airport, otherwise driving across the road n.891.Se you get there in winter by driving at night, paying close attention to trucks that arrive in the opposite direction and carrying the catch that raise clouds of ice that make you completely blind for several seconds and a sudden braking on the ice can be fatal. Rental cars in winter come with nailed tyres, but it's still not a good experience to be completely blind when you're launched at 70km/h on a 10cm thick slab of gravel. In winter in those countries they sweep the snow, they do not take away the ice.

Visits : There are no special visits, but you can leave for several sea excursions from spring onwards to fishing for royal crab.
