Dva Brata are two stone outliers (seyds). They are situated right on the coast near the shore cliff in the Zemlyanaya guba (bay) of Rybachy Peninsula. These thirty meters high formations resemble birds ready to fly, with drawn necks, and heads anxiously turned to the sea. Many legends and stores are connected with them.
The Saami considered Dva Btata to be the powerful giant noiades (wizards) Kiiperi-Ukko and Kiiperi-Akko, who ruled this country 10000 years ago. Now the Two Brothers stay on the seashore expiating their evil.
