I present to you a short film about the remote Arctic archipelago of Franz Josef Land, shot during an expedition in the fall of 2025. This film and a photo book about the archipelago, which will be published in the spring, are two halves of a single project, the goal of which is to explore the topic and introduce the viewer or reader to this remote corner of the planet. In the film, you will see how the ice moves and the light changes; in the photo book, you can examine textures, details, and frozen compositions. I tried to ensure that together they create a three-dimensional impression of the place that cannot be contained in a single format.

In this film, we will overcome the cold waters of the Barents Sea and look at the representatives of its fauna, get acquainted with such islands as Heiss, Champa, Hooker, Northbrook, Bell, Maybelle, Wilczek. We will visit the northernmost tip of Eurasia — Cape Fligeli, look from above at the green oasis of the archipelago — Cape Flora, as well as the “calling card” of Franz Josef Land — Cape Tegetthoff. We will go into Tikhaya Bay, visit polar stations, look at the marine inhabitants and the masters of these territories — polar bears. Glaciers and drifting icebergs await us. We will learn the history of the conquest of high latitudes, and also why it is important to preserve the Arctic. I hope I’ve managed to immerse the viewer in the atmosphere of these remote Arctic territories. Please leave your comments, share your impressions, and share the video. I’d appreciate your feedback. Enjoy!
