During the next 3 days we drive a 100km northwards into the endless forest, through mud, rivers, overflowing bogs and without a sign of civilisation all the way.

We’ll stay one day in a remote village of a dozen wooden houses before we head to the ancient and magnificent Khibiny Mountains where we spend 4 days. The nights we spend in the beautiful lake area and play around with the cars to explore the rough and wild area.

The next 5 days we’ll spend with visits to, a Saami Settlement, rock-crawling to the top of the Kola over a lunar landscape to park at the edge of a sheer 200m cliff and exploring Teriberka village and the Barents sea shore.
