Some landscape... |
|
| We did several trips around the area - per ship and by foot. You can really find places where no one else has been before. And places where it is really quiet, no human soul around for several miles. We weren't allowed to walk off alone... because if you get lost no one would ever find you... |

Sunsets... |
 
|
| When the sun finally set (mostly past 23.00) it was often breathtaking... Around two in the morning it would be darkest but you could still see your feet... I wonder what midnight sun is like... it's certainly even weirder than that. (and here is the first of these pictures in wallpaper size) |

Around the camp... |
The house to sleep in... we had mostly rooms for 6+ persons... the boys had their room upstairs (14). No electricity, no water. Just beds. And a place to make fire. It could get really cold. This would be the "stalowaya", means something like cafeteria just not so cozy and comfy. Buck wheat was almost daily on the plan, not very much variation on the theme. But I got to like the tea time there. 
The kitchen... there was a kitchen crew of 6 or 7 people and I guess with their resources they did a pretty good job. The last week it was our job to do the dishes and the pans and everything...
well, I can tell you without teflon and hot water it's hard work to get all the stuff clean again... The salt comes naturally into the next meal because the sink was the white sea... and the seagulls wanted their food too.
The "medpunkt"- emergency room? nurses station? Something like that. The (very) basic equipment in case someone gets sick or injured. After the last campfire it was needed... 
On to the bathroom... if you could call it that. It is the tent-thing in the middle of the picture (the "banya") .
Every three or so days you would get a bucket with hot water - that's all. The next thing to bath would be the lake 20 minutes uphill. About 14 degrees centigrade. Very refreshing.The extended bathroom to brush your teeth is on the next picture... and I'm gonna spare you the toilets... *eewwww*.The ship...
