The winters on the Kamchatka Peninsula are particularly long, the sky after the snow is blue and bright, like an endless sea. The snow-covered plains connect with the boundless Ice Sea, resembling pure white clouds. The sky is the sea, the ground is the cloud; this is the winter coast of Kamchatka.
Between the clouds and the sea, the central part of the Peninsula rises with towering snow-white mountains. Beneath the hills where the snowy mountains stretch to the shore are dozens of sturdy wooden cottages built from logs, more semi-underground huts, and three frozen longships along with dozens of small boats at the shore, together forming a considerable port camp by the sea.
