Photos of these ice and snow formation at Ural mountains in western Russia looks really amazing. This unique snow world is located at a distance of 1500 Km from Moscow and only about 600 km from Ekaterinburg. Compared with Yakutia or the Russian Far East, this place is not too far. But there is a problem, in a radius of 100 km from the plateau the area is completely uninhabited – no human settlements, roads or rafts can be found in here.
