After icy seas, Igarka, Russia might seem like a frozen wasteland, but it holds a unique charm for weary sailors. The port itself bustles with activity, loading and unloading timber – a chance to stretch your sea legs and witness a different kind of cargo.  Craving a break from ship's fare? Sample hearty Russian cuisine at harborside cafes – perfect fuel for frosty nights. While shopping options might be scarce, local markets might offer warm hats or trinkets to remind you of your Siberian adventure. Don't miss the fascinating Museum of Permafrost, a chance to explore the permanently frozen ground beneath your feet and see artifacts preserved in the icy grip. Nightlife is low-key, but you might find a bar or two with warm drinks and camaraderie amongst fellow sailors. If you prefer solitude, the aurora borealis might paint the night sky with an unforgettable display – a sight best enjoyed from the peaceful decks of your ship under the vast Russian sky.
