This photos were taken on Kola Peninsula on our way north from Polar Circle, through Murmansk and up to the Zapadnaya Litsa River, near famous Death Valley (Valey of Honour).

Zapadnaya Litsa part takes us a few days of heavy offroading. The only roads there are ones build by german military at the days of stalemate siege operation, some of them become a river bed or part of the swamp. The winch, Highlift jack and offroad wheels is a must for the road, as good protection (carter, gearbox, etc). The road could be a bit easier if I have a snorkel, because there was a great deal of crossing the river fords.
