Nature reserve Island of the gulf of Kandalaksha
There are still a few places on our planet that have remained untouched by mankind, maintaining their pure nature. One such place is the Kandalaksha Nature Reserve on the Kandalaksha Gulf. Here it is nature that reigns strong with only a handful of human guests having visited – mostly defence lawyers and observers. The State Kandalaksha Nature Reserve expanded in Northern Russia. Although it may seem a rigid and cold place at first, the reserve is full of life and splendor.

The BE-200 Altair - an Amphibious Airplane
At the 2012 International Exhibition and Scientific Conference on Hydroaviation (also known as simply Hydroaviasalon) in Gelanzhik, the Russian Beriev Be-200 seaplane made quite an impression. In only two flights, the aircraft managed to set 26 world records. Design on the amphibious aircraft began in the 1990s.

The Be-200 fire-fighting aircraft is capable of collecting 12 tonnes of water on board in only 15 seconds.
