e are in Teriberka, and this place is the
opposite to any idea of the resort: at first
glance, it seems that in the Barents Sea there is
more life than on land — terrible roads, corroded
fragments of vessels, ugly, sometimes abandoned
houses with the gray sky in the background.
The fate of the protagonist was really not so
simple. There was always someone to attack
the fishing village known since the XVI century:
the Danes were assaulting it from the sea, and
in the early XIX century it was burnt down by the
English. Until recently, a guarded border zone
has been located there, but now the checkpoint is
removed, so anyone eager to live their winters in
the Arctic Ocean coast summer-time is welcome:
local waterfalls are frozen all the year round.
Teriberka consists of two parts: the old (Teriberka
itself) and the new, which the locals call Lodeynoye.
Surprisingly, there are a lot of travelers
around, and they literally come from all over the
world. Hardly could I expect at the end of the
world to run into a sculptor from South Korea
and a young couple from Latin America.
