Pomor culture

Pomor culture refers to the traditions and way of life of the Pomor people, a historic community of Russian Maritime settlers along the White Sea coast. They are known for their maritime skills, hunting, fishing, and trading, which have been essential for survival in the Arctic environment. The Pomors developed unique dialects, folklore, crafts, and maritime knowledge suited to their icy surroundings.
