Roadtrip Baltic Sea - 21 Highlights, Tips and Route for Russia & Baltic States
Arctic and Antarctic Museum Saint Petersburg
Russia. Whoever goes to St. Petersburg first thinks of the world-famous Hermitage, the magnificent Cathedral of the Redeemer or St. Peter's Church with its high golden tower. But during my visit to St. Petersburg, a completely different museum took the first place - the Arctic and Antarctic Museum. Housed in a former church, it is the world's largest museum dedicated to the polar regions. And definitely worth a visit.
Solowezki Islands - Highlights and Travel Tips
Russia. In the White Sea, about 160 km south of the Arctic Circle, lies a group of islands with a moving history. Why the Solowezki Islands are worth a visit and what is worth seeing on the Solowezki Islands, you can find out in my following travel tips. Maybe you will feel like visiting this unusual destination, which welcomes you with a great subarctic nature and Russian hospitality. And with a little luck you might even be able to watch Beluga whales.
The Beluga Whales of the Solowezki Islands
Russia. Are whale watching tours also part of your favourite programme when you are at the sea? Can't you watch the giants of the sea often enough and are always deeply touched? Most of the time, however, whale watching is combined with boat trips. But you can watch the Beluga Whales of the Solowezki Islands from land. The calm shallow water in front of the islands is also the nursery of the belugas. In summer they come here to give birth and raise their young. How you can get to the Beluga Cape Observation Point on your own and what you have to consider when doing so, you will learn in my following article.
