A clip from a frozen island in Saint-Petersburg

[Zaba]

A short clip compiled after my visit to Saint-Petersburg's Kanonyersky ostrov. A panoramic view of the ship-repairement yard and the district surrounding it.

Unfotunately this winter was too short for me to visit that place at least once again to film it from different povs.

Wow.

Talk about an industrial work site.

Must be a heck of a job to repair a ship, let alone build one.

Thanks for sharing a look around the yard.

Great video...looks cold, not the video, the weather.

I have checked it out: air temperature stood around -3...-4C at the time of filming. But that weather and overall look almost convinced me it was -15C.

A really well produced video. I read that a tunnel exists between the city and the island.

From time to time I read the Siberian Times. Someone I worked with , who is from Ukraine, used to talk about Lake Baikal which was unknown to me before the acquaintance.
The recent fuel oil spill at Norilsk Nicole mine got me searching the Siberian Times for news.
I stumbled over this skiing article.
They ski in the Irkutsk area and this article is about the end of the spring skiing season.

In the far East of Russia I read about a gulag constructed road called 'road of bones'. Extreme adventurists ride it's length from Nizhny Bestyakh on the Lena river to Magadan on the Pacific coast.

Winter travel looks more dependable (hard road surface) than summer travel.
