June 25, 2010 at 15:33Eight Brave, or “Calls Taimyr!”, Part Two
We publish the continuation of our story about the trip to Taimyr on Friday - the day when you want to escape from high technology and find yourself somewhere on the shore of a clean reservoir. Moreover, when the heat established in Moscow is so conducive to such desires. So, we bring to your attention the second part, where we fish in a waterfall with ice water, climb a mountain and find snow there, and also enjoy the northern sunsets.
Inside a lot of photos!
To be continued. The beginning is here: habrahabr.ru/company/oversun-mercury/blog/96260
This is the place of our third and longest parking. Behind the trees lies an improvised fishing and tourist base of several barracks nailed from boards. The former prisoner Valera steers her with a firm hand, living here most of the year, with the exception of the most severe periods. Despite the Spartan conditions, people from Norilsk come from time to time to fish and drink various drinks in the clean mountain air. Fortunately, such leisure does not interfere with the general idyll. And people come conscious, do not litter and do not rage.
Towards evening the mountains were hazy.
Against this background, it was definitely worth taking a picture with a stern facial expression.
Some members of the expedition did not have severe facial expressions.
Evening camp on vacation. Despite the fact that we brought all the supplies with us, sometimes we still had to turn to neighbors for revenue. Here one simple truth was revealed to us - money on Lake Lama does not solve anything. If any resource is available, whether it is bread, salt, vodka or cigarettes, they will share it with you and they will not take money under any sauce. Well, no, and there is no trial.
One day we went to a nearby waterfall. It is easy to guess about its presence, if only because the noise of falling water is heard all the time. Personally, I have never been to such nature-cultural sites before, so the spectacle turned out to be very exciting. A small rivulet with smooth boulders on top, a dozen meters of flight, a bowl, and the rivulet flows on.
Harsh rocks.
Pond immediately after the waterfall. Here you can catch fish. It will take skill and luck.
A river below a waterfall.
A special fishing suit with boots still does not save you from the cold - you can’t stay in the water for more than half an hour. This time the catch turned out to be small, but because of this it is even more valuable and tasty.
Northern nature is harsh, but not without charm.
After the campaign, the haze cleared, and the camp began to live a cheerful camp life.
This is a skua bird. Her scream sounds like a hoarse hahaha. More than once, skuas made us shudder in silence. In the end, we began to react to their “laughter” with our laughter, especially before bedtime.
The main and, perhaps, the only delicacy is tea with condensed milk.
Evening gatherings.
At times, the lake pleased us with fantastic sunsets.
But most of the time the sun just went beyond the mountains. In the photo - a deep evening, if not night. Collecting firewood for the evening fire.
A day later, part of the expedition went to the mountain, at the foot of which we camped. The climb turned out to be difficult, but in the end, brave researchers were rewarded, having reached the snow. The joy of this fact can only be compared with an ice cream cart in childhood! It was even harder to go down, not without muscle sprains, but, fortunately, nothing serious.
The mountain offers breathtaking views.
After climbing - fishing!
That's all for today, soon the third, final part of the trilogy will be released!
