I'd be confident in saying that is Austrian Pine (Pinus nigra) - definitely two-needled bundles, and much longer needles than Scots Pine. The "tightness" which the needles are held along the branches is typical for Austrian Pine, versus a "looser" way that Red Pine tends to look.

If you dare brave the frozen tundra again...put something in the closeups for scale - a quarter, a finger, a lens cap...
