| Nar'yan-Mar | Guide Wanted :-) Posted: Tue April 4, 2006 07:26 AM UTC
Hi,
We wish to visit the arctic region Russia anywhere north of archangelsk. Can anyone give us advice on how we can find a local guide ? My girlfriend speak russian so language is no problem for us. We would love to explore the region and maybe go to novaya zemlya. We need no hotel etc. just a room at a fisherman's house. Thanks ! |

Novaya Zemlya is off-limits, it is a military area. I believe for all Russian arctic islands you need a special permission, but Novaya Zemlya is the worst. Greenland and Svalbard must have similar landscapes.
Naryan-Mar is not an easy place to get now since they have stopped the passenger boat navigation on River Pechora. Also, as far as I know, it is not a really interesting place. Would Kola peninsula do? It is more accessible, and also have tundra landscapes. Another option is Northern Komi, like Vorkuta area. Sorry, I do not know anything about guides.

Hi,
remember seeing a member from the area in several forum postings in the past, his VT-name is actually Naryan-Mar (http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/5774e/). Maybe you could contact him for more details? Good luck! P.
