Hmm. I agree that the Poliyarniyy (correct Russian-English transliteration,
BTW) Inlet, where the movie version of Hunt for Red October (one of my
all-time faves) begins, is a fantastic place for Durmstrang. However, it
would be particularly interesting were it to move about -- winter term in,
say, the southern fjords, and summer up around the Novaya Zemlya islands
north of Russia. Well, it would make for some fascinating backdrops anyway.
