Welcome to the image collection dedicated to the remarkable landscapes of Pomorye — the coastal regions of Northern Russia washed by the waters of the White Sea, the Barents Sea, and partly the Kara Sea. If you want to explore the nature and scenery of this harsh yet richly storied natural land, you have come to the right place.

Pomorye represents a vast maritime coastal zone that includes extensive coastal plains, hills, and low elevations, dissected by numerous bays, fjords, and inlets. The Pomorye territories are characterized by wide sandy and pebble beaches, many rocky capes, and stony shores where rare and typical Northern flora and fauna thrive. The inland areas are rich with forests, mainly coniferous, as well as swamps and lakes typical of the northern taiga and tundra zones.

The relief of Pomorye is often cut through by river valleys that carry their waters into the sea, forming complex estuarine systems and deltas. Water cooled by northern winds creates a distinctive climate marked by clear seasonal changes — from prolonged snowy winters to cool and damp summers. During this season, the waters around the coast can be dotted with small islands and rocky shoals.

Pomorye holds an important historical role as a region of traditional maritime industries, especially fishing and navigation. Here one finds native settlements of the Pomors — a people whose culture and lifestyle are closely tied to marine activities and the extreme natural conditions of the North. Images of Pomorye often also depict traditional settlements, wooden architecture, and the sea as a vital environment for the local community.

Regardless of season or weather conditions, photographs of Pomorye may highlight the richness of coastal ecosystems, plant diversity, seasonal bird migrations, coastal current phenomena, and ice cover. This area is a unique combination of nature and humanity where marine horizons meet northern forests and tundra, revealing a complex and multifaceted world of the Russian North.
