Map of Arctic. A scan from an old, Soviet time, edition of the map atlas Here’s a map of Arctic. The one in which you could literally see ‘both sides of it’, as if you ’soar over the top of world’. I’ve got this picture by scanning a page in an old Soviet atlas, published in 1985. By the way, this year bears some significance in respect (how it would turn out later) - to the fates of the world’: ‘Perestroika’ was officially ’spinned-off” then, and in the following years this same world has changed unprecedentedly.

I’m thinking, wouldn’t that be nice to create a sort of ‘interactive tool’ based on this map, - so that it would be possible to put on it some links connecting posts’ texts and visual materials with respective regions on the map..

An Arch featuring an imaginative ‘land mark’ - a ‘Polar Circle’ line. ‘Somewhere’ in Russia’s Far East .. and start then a kind of ‘quest game’: “where on Earth is the pictured place?” Oh, well, maybe I’m just trying to ‘reinvent the bike’.. Just look around, see how many ‘off-shelf’ digital on-line products already exist today for solutions of similar objectives.

Anyway, there’s a desire to create another one, (”What the heck?!” :) ) customized for one particular task of exploring the ‘Bush Flying on Both Sides of Arctic’..
