πŸŒπŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί When your week feels like this, be this bear.

Bosses on your case? To-do list a mile long? Just done with everything?

Take a note from this bear in the Kamchatka hot springs and just soak it all away. The ultimate de-stress, no cocktails required. The Russian bear approves!

✏️ The White Sea Petroglyphs appeared in the 4th-3rd millennium BC. This archaeological complex consists of rock carvings and more than 30 ancient human settlements. They are located on the islands along the Vyg River, about 6-8 km from where the river flows into the White Sea, near the village of Vygostrov.


🀩 The archaeological site on the islands has been given the status of a cultural and historical monument to protect these unique archaeological artifacts of federal importance (petroglyphs, ancient human settlements) and their natural surroundings. The age of the petroglyphs, created by ancient people and discovered by A. M. Linevski, is approximately 4,500 to 5,500 years old.

🀩 In total, 39 groups have been found in the Vyg River lower reaches, totaling around 2000 individual figures. These include depictions of people, animals, and various scenes from everyday life of that time, such as hunting or ritual processions. Interestingly, this is the location of the oldest image of a person on skis. β›·

🀩 The sizes of the figures vary from about 1 inch to 10 feet, but most are between half a foot and two feet tall.

🀩 During excavations in this area, artifacts such as household items, stone tools, and their fragments were also discovered.

πŸ“The Golden Mountains of Altai are often called the heart of this stunning region. Picture lush green slopes beneath brilliant peaks that shine like goldβ€”this is the image that inspired their name.

⭐️ Part of the larger Altai Range, which spans Russia, Kazakhstan, China, and Mongolia, the landscape here is a tapestry of vibrant colors: deep green forests, bright blue skies, and silvery rivers winding below. The mountains themselves are ancient, with peaks that formed hundreds of millions of years ago.

🩷 But the beauty is more than just visual. These mountains are steeped in legend, with stories of hidden treasures and ancient secrets waiting to be discovered. The area is also home to rare wildlife, and the environment is known for its pure, healing qualities.

⚫️Visitors can explore breathtaking landscapes, hike along mountain trails, and breathe in the crisp, fresh airβ€”immersing themselves completely in nature. It’s a place that never fails to inspire and amaze. I hope you someday have the chance to visit the Golden Mountains of Altai and experience their magic for yourself.

⭐️ The site has also been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.
