There is such a place, on the shores of the Barents Sea. Teriberka. The edge of the land, as the locals call it. A place, far beyond the Arctic Circle, with long nights when the sun doesn't rise.

The harsh, inaccessible winter region became famous after the film Leviathan. I don't know why I suddenly decided to write about this place, I guess I missed the snow.

Where I am from, it is now winter in full force, with snow and frost.

With a bit of luck, you can get there by car. Failing that, you'll be stuck in the tundra in the middle of a snowstorm. The main problem with the road is the endless 'nothing' on all sides. Only snow and plain, through which the road to Teriberka winds in a snake.

Open to the wind, if it snows, this road is swept away in an instant. There's no point in digging, because while you're digging the first five metres, another ten metres in front of you get swept away, and it's good if you've got enough fuel to keep the engine running and warm inside the car.

Terrain with incomplete navigational data

We heard this phrase as we approached the town from the navigator in the car, when a sign to the town was already in sight.

40 kilometers to the target. The Sun won't rise today, with two months of the polar night ahead of us.

A snowy wilderness stretches out in all directions, with only the occasional passing traffic around.
