Locations in the Northern Lands

Amid the rugged landscapes of Teriberka, there is a spot where the breath of the Arctic is felt particularly keenly—the famous Batareisky Waterfall. It is a rare natural phenomenon: fresh water, originating in Lake Maly Batareisky, plunges noisily over granite cliffs to meet the salty waters of the Barents Sea. There aren’t many waterfalls across Russia that flow directly into the sea, which makes this one unique. Furthermore, it is considered the northernmost waterfall in the European part of Russia.

In Teriberka, the Teriberka Lighthouse is rightly considered such a place—austere, solitary, and majestic. It stands on the edge of a rocky shore, where the cold Barents Sea meets the winds of the Arctic, and has remained one of the most recognizable symbols of the Russian North for many years. To see the lighthouse in Teriberka is to experience the true history of the sea.

In Teriberka, that place is the famous “Dragon’s Eggs” beach—one of the most mysterious and photogenic locations in the Russian North. At first glance, it looks as if giant eggs of ancient creatures really do lie here, forgotten by time on the shore of the Barents Sea.

This rugged corner of the Arctic has long been a symbol of Teriberka, and everyone who travels here tries to see it with their own eyes.
