Fantastic cartoon style rock art. For example the one they found at the main site, which depicts a bear hunt: a hunter who is heading uphill on skis and tracking a bear. The ski tracks are just as one would expect for someone going up a slope with a good distance between the strides. The hunter then gets his feet together, skis down a slope, stops, removes his skis, takes four steps – and plunges his spear into the bear.
The figures depicted in the Lake Kanozero rock carvings include moose, boats, whales, humans, harpoon lines, beavers and all kinds of other ordinary and extraordinary images and scenes from the distant past.

Note: Remarkable Russian Petroglyphs - "I still get chills up my spine when I talk about it because it was such an emotional experience finding these carvings. No matter how much I explore, the chances are close to zero that I’ll ever find anything comparable.”
