How not to turn the tourist route into the last. Experts of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Murmansk region told about the rules of behavior in nature
The recent accident in Teriberka once again reminded of the main rule of any trip: safety is more important than any experience. Polar beauty attracts guests, but require attention and caution. Specialists of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Murmansk region told how to prepare for winter trips so that they do not turn into trouble.

We will remind that there was an accident in Teriberka. A high wave washed away two tourists in the sea. One of them has already been handed over to doctors, he is being helped. According to preliminary data, the tourists were accompanied by a certified instructor-guide. The reasons for the incident are clarified by the investigating authorities.
The weather in the north is changeable: a minute ago the sun was shining, and five minutes later it is already sweeping. Therefore, it is better to choose clothes so that it can be quickly adjusted to new conditions. On the body - thermal underwear, on top - a layer that holds heat, on top - a jacket that does not allow wind and moisture. A hat, gloves and spare warm clothes should always be with you, even if it seems warm outside.
Shoes for winter walks should be warm, waterproof and comfortable for a long walk. It is important that the sole does not slide, and the ankle was securely fixed. Then the risk of injury and frostbite is reduced.
On the walk, keep a few landmarks. First of all, do not leave equipped trails and decking: outside them, the risk of falling into the snow or stumbling into a hidden danger is higher. If you want to make a spectacular shot, you should not get up to cliffs, water edges, rocks or waterfalls for it.
It is also important to assess your strength soberly: when the site seems difficult, it is better not to take risks. Tell your family where you are going and when you plan to return. And if the route runs through a reserve or a natural park where there is no connection, you need to inform the Ministry of GOES and PB about the hike.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
