There is one sea on the Earth that I have kept visiting every year for the last 16 years. <\/b>Do you think it's the Black sea or the Red one? Or maybe the Mediterranean? No, you didn't guess! Near this sea there are no palm trees and snow-white beaches, there are no colourful fish and bright corals, there are no luxury hotels and only few tourists.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBut there are harsh cliffs with a leaden sky hanging over them and a stormy, not that warm sea.
\n\"Then why go there?\", you may reasonably ask me. And I don't really know how to answer this question. To understand why people who have been there once come back again and again, you just have to make up your mind to take a ticket to Murmansk, then travel another 150 kilometers by car to the deserted Liinahamari submarine base. Then you would put on a dry suit, take an aqualung on your back and step into the black abyss of the Barents Sea from the board of an iron ship. And there, deep among the grey rocks, huge boulders and kelp thickets you may find the answer to your question.
\nAlthough... if you still doubt, you had better take a ticket to Sharm El-Sheikh. It was promised to be open soon. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyone who has been to the Barents Sea knows that the weather there is very changeable and difficult to predict. <\/b>And this time we were informed that from the 15th to the 17th of January there would be a storm, which meant that the exit from Liinahamari Bay would be closed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To indulge in vain hopes for the good weather on the seaside, especially in January, is not that fun. So we decided to take our time and stay in Karelia for another day, in a wonderful eco hotel named Karjala Park, which is located on the banks of the Shuya River near Petrozavodsk. We were provided with a cozy wooden house in a snow-covered pine forest, went on an exciting snowmobile ride across incredibly beautiful locations, had a wonderful dinner in the tent, listening to the crackling of birch firewood and the whining of husky sled dogs. Could we reject such a proposal?!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
