From 3 to 7 February, students of School №3 set off on a short but inspiring journey to explore the surroundings of Murmansk. What did they do there? They
- travelled across snowy landscapes by dog sled;
- visited a traditional Sámi park;
- listened to legends inside an authentic shaman’s chum, gathered around a real fire;
- witnessed a breathtaking northern sunset from a sacred Sámi mountain;
- enjoyed panoramic views over the Arctic capital;
- visited the beach where the film Leviathan was shot;
- discovered why Murmansk is known as the Gateway to the Arctic.
A special highlight of the trip was the visit to Seydozero, the sacred lake of the Sámi people. The students tasted local delicacies and took part in a quiz about northern traditions.
The journey was truly rich and memorable, and the warm memories of this Arctic adventure will remain in the students’ hearts for years to come.
