Travel to South Ossetia
I have a tendency to choose less popular and less-promoted destinations for travel; it helps me feel like a pioneer. One such place is South Ossetia...

The North is incredible beauty and my great love, it has always attracted me and continues to attract me. The Ural Mountains are another love. It so happened that I like them not only for the beauty of the landscapes, but also for their own atmosphere and energy. These two loves - for the North and the Ural Mountains, having united, gave birth to the idea of ??a hike through the Polar Urals.
As much as the endless breathtaking landscapes are stunning, the logistics and service in Chukotka, which seem to be created out of spite, are just as disappointing and disgusting. But about the bad later, I'll start with the good.
Routes, recommendations, tips, warnings, details, photographs. And also: the best time to climb, how to get there, make the climb and... stay alive)) A detailed story about climbing Klyuchevskaya Sopka, which is almost impossible to find on the Internet.
The first thing to say is this hike – one of the simplest and most accessible hikes that can be done from Moscow, St. Petersburg and central Russia, but at the same time, feel the real romance of the hike and the difficulties of everyday hiking. Six days of complete separation from the bustle of big cities and the Internet. Mmm… priceless!
Iceland. How little in this sound merged for the Russian ear, how little echoed in it... It's a pity. For me, Iceland was a real revelation, a trip to another world, a flight to Mars, if you like. This is the most unusual and beautiful country I have ever seen, and believe me, I have seen quite a lot.
However, let's take it in order…
Norway – the country is unique. Nature, culture, people – everything here is surprising and even delight. If you have not been to Norway, we can hardly be called a traveler…
Personally, I have been to this country 8 times and each time was like the first. At the same time, Norway is good at any time of the year. The mild maritime climate creates normal conditions for travel both in winter and in autumn-spring, but in the summer God himself ordered to visit this country!
Report on the extreme auto-photo tour Yakutsk - Oymyakon - Magadan in February 2017. Lots of details, useful information, photographs and observations - it will be useful to everyone who is going to visit those distant lands or is simply interested in not quite standard routes.
