Январь по-Кольски

The Kola Peninsula in January reveals a world sculpted by frost and stillness. Snow blankets every branch and rock, while a narrow river winds through the frozen valley, its surface partially covered in ice. The sky, painted in hues of purple and pink, signals the brief twilight of the Arctic winter. This scene, captured by Sergey Korolev, evokes the remote beauty of northern Russia, where nature’s silence is profound and untouched. The snow-laden pines stand as silent sentinels, framing the landscape in a dreamlike, almost surreal stillness.
