Long legs over non existent terrain. Bing doesn’t have any data on this stretch, the low res sat image is replaced with generic no detail ground textures. The sun rise and cloud formations made up for it, however a Windows 10 update rebooted my laptop at night and all my unsaved pictures were gone in the morning. I use print screen and paste into paint shop to take screenshots. Now I save them straight away, also makes it easier to name them.
To compensate I reconstructed the leg on Google maps.
Leaving Rogachyovo in the morning
Varandey on the coast
Vorkuta, a coal mining town
It’s vey cool you can walk through this entire town in google street view
Bovanenkovo, a gas mining town
The Nenets of Siberia meet the gas miners
Not much to see along the way thanks to the bland terrain, but very cool to dive deeper into the culture.
