Russian North
« on: January 08, 2012, 02:53:39 PM »
There are many wonderful places on Earth. But my love belongs to Russian North - And more precisely to the Kola peninsula and his mountains.
Yet I read the remarkable book of scientist-minerolog and geochemist a child is Alexander Fersman about mountains Hibiny. But got in these mountains already adult, together with a husband. Since we almost every year are in those places. And although since we visited very many places and in Russia and abroad, but our hearts so remained in the north, in Hibiny tundras.
Look, what wonderful mountains is it, and what remarkable plants grow there.
