Edge of lonely islands

The endless area of Ladoga is called the skerries, it is also often compared to the natural Norwegian mountain bays - fjords. Unique beauty is given by the quaintly located stony walls covered with lichen and moss. The water near the steep rocks becomes a dangerous bottomless view. Powerful granite blocks frighteningly rise above the cliffs, recalling the times of the Middle Ages.

What is the Ladoga skerries (see the photo in the article)? This is a whole chain of steep and uninhabited islets, which are rocky hills. This and is remarkable for this area of the North. Similar natural formations scientists number at least 650. They are randomly distributed throughout the northern coast.

Stone cliffs are a kind of protective barrier for sushi - they break big waves. Infinite confrontation between the two elements (water and land) can be observed all life. Despite the harsh climatic conditions, the skerry region boasts a rich flora and fauna. Unique and unusual beauty prompted the authorities of Karelia to make the region a protected natural area. The government is actively engaged in the creation of an open protected park called "Ladoga Skerries".
