This trip was like a big adventure to me. Going to such a distant place, so unknown to foreigners and many locals as that area is very lightly populated. The sea remains frozen there from November till April, and communications are not good either. Now it seems that there is a diving centre there so it’s probably not as wild as it was that year, but still a big change for anybody used to dive in a more civilised way. I think this summer I will try to go again.
