This cliff is split by a tiny spring in the middle.

Every spring the water rises and polishes the bank which makes it feel like marble floor.

Deers are constant campannions of the raftsmen: they watch from the banks, wander about the camp and swim across the river right before the rafts.

Taimyr can boast of the biggest herd of the wild deer – about 600 thousand heads.

The travellers find the deer during their annual migration to the South. Local people kill hundreds of deer in this period to stock up the meat for winter.



Doe with a little young deer are crossing the river with caution.


These places are perfect for fishing.



Giant taimen. The fish was returned to its natural habitat after working as a photo model.


There is really a lot of fish here. If one has a fishing rod, one definitely won’t starve.


The raftsmen came across a deserted litospheric base.

The interior and left objects move one to the Soviet times.


Abandoned wooden bathhouse.



Time to go back home.

Khatanga is one of the most Northern Russian towns. Its name can be translated as “a lot of water” from the language of a local nationality.


A rare possibility to visit unique “Mammoth museum”.

Very nice.
Spot the dollar bill.
What’s up with all the insinuations through various posts that there’s anything wrong with keeping caught fish??
These guys are very lucky to have gone on such a trip. I love white water rafting and fishing. I would love to make this trip into the wild myself. Interesting abandon cabin. It looked like it was once a nice little place to stay.
It seems like most all Russians know how to build anything from wood. That may not be true but that’s the impression I get from looking at different posts here at ER.
Great Post, Thanks.
I would love to have some samples of those rocks.
