Summary/Abstract: It is located 1,500 kilometres north of St Petersburg, 2,000 km north of Moscow and 450 km above the Arctic Circle. For 43 winter days there is no sunlight. For 62 summer days and nights the sun does not allow the tired senses a moment of rest. This is Teriberka – the edge of the world. It is located on the rocky shores of the Barents Sea and is a ghostly place, finding its balance on the edge between life and death, between being present and fading away.
