Porchniha - dead base of nuclear submarines

Porchniha village was built by the military, as a base of nuclear submarines. This is the most northwestern point of the Kola Peninsula in the Barents Sea where there is a road. If you got to the Far Zelencov, the remaining 10 km to Porchnihi, for you did not make labor.

And do not believe the cards, which draw on the road along the coast - it is a mistake cartographers who mapped the road instead of deer trails. Drive an SUV? I doubt it.

About this place, I learned long ago, when in 2004 I discovered geocaching. One of the virtual caches laid here. Surprisingly, since 2003 (the date of bookmarks cache) no one picked up, and in the comments to the cache has been a very interesting discussion: - "This is a foot or water route? Maybe a helicopter? ". Everyone has seen the satellite images and do not understand how you can get here at all on the ground.
