Fishing for Atlantic Salmon Beyond the Polar Circle
The Barents Sea coast is marked by rapid northern rivers that flow into the sea. It is here that giant Atlantic salmon come to spawn. They stubbornly swim against the strong flows of rivers on the Kola Peninsula in order to lay their eggs. However reaching this difficult destination has proven more of a challenge for fishermen than for the fish. Fishermen are forced to overcome some serious obstacles as the Barents Sea coast is located beyond the Arctic Circle and there is no road across the tundra. The only way to reach the salmon living in the rivers of the Kola Peninsula is by helicopter, and getting the chance to travel to this harsh region is the dream of almost every real fisherman. Here you might catch the biggest fish you’ve ever caught in your life, but then must release back into the sea.

In order to strengthen the Moscow Principality and the unity among citizens, Prince Daniel founded the Russian capital’s first monastery. Over its 7-century history, the Danilov Monastery has experienced years of formation and bloom as well as decay and ruin. However having overcome these challenges, the monastery has obtained a new life. In anticipation of the millennium of the baptism of Ancient ‘Rus, the Danilov Monastery became the first Moscow monastery relinquished to the Russian Orthodox Church.
