TO keep things moving I'll pretend to be D-Type, if no one minds too much.....

Question:

What and where is/are these strange natural structures?

Looks similar to the famous "snow ghosts" at Whitefish, Montana.
That photo doesn't look like Montana, though.

There's no good reason to visit Russia these days.

Why? I'd like to visit those rocks ( in case they are in Russia). And Hermitage Museum. And the Red Square. And Kremlin. And Lenin's mummy ( if still available :p). And St. Basil's Cathedral. And for many many other such reasons......

They are in Russia, in the Ural Mountains. They are known as The Seven Strong Men.

Anfield, you did a good job pretending to be D-Type. Now can you pretend you're me and ask the next question? :p
I really don't know what to ask and I'm not a thinker......

Give it a while and in some places Russia may decide it will visit you. :p

I know the North Sea is quite small, but there is probably a smaller one?

The Sea of Dirac.

It explains anomalous negative-energy quantum states of relativistic electrons - and also predicts the positron.
In quantum mechanics we can only talk about the probability of finding an electron; that gives us position and zero size.

The smallest sea in the world is 0.0nm across.

That's a very ingenious answer, I'm impressed (and would not have thought of it in this context myself). Unfortunately it is not a real sea but a theoretical model and I'm looking for a real one.

The Sea of Galilee can't be any bigger than about 65 square miles.

Not that one, smaller.

The Aral Sea? With the amount it has shrunk over the last few decades it must be tiny (if non-existent) by now.

Japan's Inland Sea?

To clarify Starter does it have to have the word 'Sea" in the name, or do you consider the Gulf of California as a sea?

The Inland Sea is connected by the Cash Flow to the Inland Re'venue and the Accountan Sea.

The famed ship the Crimson Permanent Assurance was the first to charter the wide Accountan Sea.

It's hard for me to tell from that map where it is. Could you please tell me what part of the world it is in?

The place I am using for the question is sometimes called the Inland Sea, but has a real name too. It's the actual name I'm looking for. I'll buy your answer though if the sea is in the correct location.
