4. St Petersburg
Malachy Tallack's journey along the sixtieth parallel brings him to St Petersburg and then on to Ekenas. Read by Sandy Grierson.
Writer Malachy Tallack has set out from Shetland on a journey around the sixtieth parallel. Today, he arrives in St Petersburg, the most highly populated place on the parallel.
The sixtieth parallel marks a borderland between 'near' and 'far north', Tallack travelled to some of the places that share this latitude, beginning in Shetland, where he has spent most of his life. Focusing on the landscapes and natural environments of the parallel, and the way that people have interacted with those landscapes, Tallack explores themes of wildness and community, of isolation and engagement, of exile and memory.
