What to do and see in Murmansk, Northwestern District: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

December 19, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Murmansk (Russian: Му́рманск, IPA: [ˈmurmənsk]; Kildin Sami: Мурман ланнҍ; Northern Sami: Murmánska; Skolt Sami: Muurman) is a port city and the administrative center of Murmansk Oblast in the far northwest part of Russia. It sits on both slopes and banks of a modest ria or fjord, Kola Bay, an estuarine inlet of the Barents Sea. Its bulk is on the east bank of the inlet. It is in the north of the rounded Kola Peninsula which covers most of the Oblast (semi-autonomous region). The city is 67 miles (108 km) from the border with Norway and 113 miles (182 km) from the Finnish border. The city is named for the Murman Coast; an archaic term in Russian for Norwegian.

You have to visit this former nuclear icebreaker on a russian tour. Since we didn't understand any of what was being said we just took photos and looked up information online later. The tour moves quite quickly, so we didn't have time to read the English information on the walls.

It is worth the visit. I came here on a sleepy Wednesday afternoon. There were no crowds of schoolkids or tourists. So I wandered around its halls taking my time at looking at the exhibits or reading explanations.

Teriberka

Teriberka is an amazing place in the Northern part of the Kola Peninsula. Here you can see firsthand the unfrozen shore of the Arctic ocean, snow-covered endless expanses of the Arctic tundra, a sandy beach in the middle of snowdrifts and the polar sun, as if melting before your eyes... And yet — the ruins and traces of the Soviet and tsarist era. The North knows
