OREANDA-NEWS. On 21 April 2009 was announced, that in Hibinsky mountains the ecological organizations of the Polar region and Barentsevomorsky branch of the world fund of the wild nature have spent joint conference. The truth in not absolutely usual format. All participants of a meeting have overcome on snowmobiles a tourist route in the extent of 70 kilometers.

To move from sad boardrooms in Hibinskie mountains — such decision organizers of conference have accepted. Start from base of tour agency "Kola expeditions", without their techniques and competent instructors two-day travel would be impossible.

The first stop - in kilometer from base. An artesian chink, a deposit of subsoil waters. Pure mountain water, a nonfreezing source. The stop has occupied not less a half an hour, and again in a way. Management of a snowmobile demands skills. This techniques loves high speed and open space then to operate much more interestingly, the car well answers the helm.

It is the former settlement of miners in 26 killometrah from Kirovsk, now here there is a mountain hotel and base of rescuers. On special columns visitors of hotel leave tablets with names of cities. Here there is even Oxford and London, but most of all for some reason Vologda.

From base on sledge we go to a mountain Kuelpor foot. In the beginning 80 here have made some underground nuclear explosions, but to develop Apatitovoe deposit it was not possible.

- Since then a deposit have closed, but here in several places apatite leaves close to a surface, - Sergey Konjaev, the representative of the company "Kola expeditions" speaks. - And in the next valley creation of Partamchorrsky mine is planned.

When will open new mine, will carry apatite directly through Hibiny. In a detour too far, and about preservation of the nature businessmen of the Northwest phosphoric company think not first of all.

Here in mountains when it is visually visible all beauty of the nature, reports of ecologists sound great. To dirty a mountain valley to industrialists - time to spit. Park "Hibiny" creation will help to avoid it.

The second day of travel. A trip to Simbozersky reserve. Still it name "Losinye a day nursery". Here them most of all. After big fires young pines, the basic food for elks here have grown. At last we stop on picnic at the pure and beautiful mountain river.

Tourism in Hibinah — an exclusive. Our Murmansk pride to transform it into consumer goods will allow nobody. But somehow to limit visiting Hibin it is possible only having created natural park. Tourist groups should be strictly organised and prepared for such travel.

Our travel on Hibinsky mountains has come to an end. Impressions from snow walks will suffice now till next winter.
