- We hope that we have managed to give you a sense of the incredible atmosphere and spirit of the Polar Urals, this unspoiled corner of austere northern nature.
- The Polar Urals extend from Mount Konstantinov Kamen in the north to the source of river Khulga in the south. They have an area of about 25,000 km² (9,700 sq mi)...
- The relief of the Polar Urals is characterized by wide valleys and glacial structures.
- Due to its location, the Polar Urals is famous for its harsh snowy winters and strong winds.
- The Pre-Polar Urals are in a forest zone, with the boundary of the forest at 400-600 meters (1300-1970 ft).
- You will spend most of the trip (days 2-4, 5-7) at the "Badjashor" base, located on the Bolshaya Usa Rver in the foothills of the Polar Urals.
- The highest elevations are found in the Nether-Polar Urals, the second-northernmost section of the range’s five segments.
- It stretches from the northern part of the Polar Urals to the Strait of Ugorsky Balloon and part of the range goes farther under the water up to Vaigach Island.
- Outer layers should be rated to withstand polar temperatures, and you’ll need bib-style pants so that the wind doesn’t get under your jacket on the snowmobile.
- The special character of relief and climate creates conditions for existence of 75 cirque and slope glaciers in the Polar Urals.
