Murmansk is the land beyond the Arctic Circle, washed by the waters of the Arctic Ocean, where the sun is in the night sky from May to July.

You will come to Kola in the midst of the Polar Day, visit the legendary Teriberka, get acquainted with the indigenous population of the Arctic — the Saami people, meet reindeers and affectionate blue-eyed Huskies.

You will see Murmansk from the inside, with its icebreakers and ports, the Kola Bay and blue hills around. And you will want to come back here again.
