Pechenga

From the Portal of Returning:
And so it was then, that we finally, entered the wild lands of Pechenga and travelled further north into the arctic circle. The snows were coming, and it would only get colder the further north we travelled. I don't think the horses thought much of the terrain we were now entering. They had warm blankets for the night time though, and plenty to eat. We had six pack horses with us to carry food for us and the animals.
There were mountains far to our east, and each day we travelled, we must have gained a hundred feet in height, on the gently sloping terrain, and each day the air got cooler. There was a strong chill wind, and it always seemed to be against us. The land was flat, besides the steady incline, and utterly swept of life by the blighting wind. Even the rocks were flat and round, as if crouching from the wind and small brown grass grew in between them.
For the first two weeks, one day was much the same as any other. There was no trail to follow, but Carab seemed to know where we were going.
Over glaciers and high mountain ranges we travelled, for weeks across the trackless wastes, and tall forests of sturdy pine. As we headed for the ancient ruins of Pik Sedova, I sometimes thought of what may be waiting for us.
