Webcam in the Nikolsky Skete of the Valaam Monastery

Live webcam shows the view from the Nikolsky Skete of the Valaam Monastery. The skete is located on Nikolsky Island, on the left side of the Monastery Bay. The camera lens is directed to the northwest, towards the Kuznetsk Islands, so the frame shows the wide water surface of the bay and the island shores.

The Monastery Bay is a natural harbor of the Valaam archipelago. It is protected by islands and rocky capes, due to which the water here is noticeably calmer than in the open part of Lake Ladoga. Since ancient times, the bay served as a convenient place for the monastery's ships to moor, and in winter, reliable routes between the islands were laid across its ice. The shores of the bay are made up of light granites, covered with coniferous forest, and in the shallow bays there are reed edges.

The online broadcast is conducted in high definition and without sound. This allows you to see the details of the coastline, the play of light on the water and the movement of clouds in real time, immersing yourself in the calm atmosphere of northern nature without extraneous noise. The webcam in the Nikolsky Skete of the Valaam Monastery allows you to take a small virtual trip around Ladoga without any noise or rocking.
