Abstract
Since 1973, the Kola expedition of the IHMC RAS has discovered and studied 4 rock art sites located in the Arctic. They demonstrate both similarities with other sites of Fennoscandia and significant differences. Individual figures and their compositions are classified into a small number of types. This suggests that it was not “scenes from life” that were depicted, but mythological subjects.
