| I took this picture from the North End of
the city of Khatanga, Russia, Siberia. I used the maximum zoom that I
could get. The Russians did not like us to take any pictures of the
airplanes, but I had to get some. Once we left Khatanga and went north to
Sredney Island, the Russians didn't care what we took pictures of.
