Arkhangelsk is the gateway to the Arctic

9 more

The city of Arkhangelsk, born of the sea, has been standing on the shore of the Northern Dvina River for more than 4 centuries. Having become the cradle of shipbuilding under Peter I, the port city built ships for the entire Russian fleet.

Today, the city of Severodvinsk in the Arkhangelsk region is a center for the construction and repair of nuclear submarines. It was from the shores of the White Sea that the development of the Arctic expanses began.

Nowadays Arkhangelsk is deservedly called the "gateway of the Arctic".
