The Sphynx of Vetvisty Creek, Arctic Ural
As seen on the way down from Uraganny Pass to Little Usa River.
This is almost the Northern-most area of Arctic Ural Mountains. Uraganny Pass connects Usa (in Pechora River Basin) with Kara River, flowing directly into the Arctic Ocean.
Kara (from Nenets name Khara-yakha, "Meandering River") is of course the waterway after which the Kara Sea is named.
March 1989.
