Onega Petroglyphs

	Story shot in August 2007
	Famous primeval carved petroglyphs of Onega Lake are surely hidden from strange eyes on the most removed shore of the lake. There are only three ways to reach this unique masterpiece of primeval art: by boat or by off-road vehicle along a road in an extremely bad condition even by Russian standards or on foot. The last possibility means 20 kilometers of hard hiking along the lake shore from the nearest village of Shala. However despite of its removed location far away from the civilization the Onega petroglyphs once already were inscribed in the UNESCO's list of world heritage sites in danger.  1.
