From a Distant Shore

Photojournalist Mikhail Mordasov traveled to Russia’s farthest northwestern shore to get a first-hand look at the town of Teriberka, where the controversial Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated film LEVIATHAN was filmed.

Teriberka is about as far north as you can get.

In terms of latitude, Teriberka is farther north than Salekhard, Naryan-Mar and Anadyr. And much farther north than Yakutsk, Magadan or Khanti-Mansiysk.
