📍City of shining skies - what is it? This is what the capital of the Polar Region - Murmansk iscalled.
📍We tell you more about it! It is particularly recommended to come here in winter - because of the northern lights. Among the sights worth seeing is the monument "Alyosha" (affectionately referred to by locals), dedicated to the liberators of the Polar region from the Nazis. The warrior stands with his back to the city, as if covering it with himself. He is protecting it from the enemies. There is an observation platform near the monument. It offers a picturesque view of the city and the Kola
Bay.
📍Don't forget to see the trademark of Murmansk - icebreaker "Lenin", which in the XX century became the first nuclear-powered icebreaker. You can even climb aboard and see the
exposition!
📍Much attention should be paid to the outskirts of the city. For example, the village of Teriberka. Here you can go for a walk and see the whales, ride reindeer sleds and snowmobiles in winter, visit the beach with the "dinosaur eggs"-stones and satisfate yourself with local cuisine rich in
seafood. Tourists highlight the incredibly picturesque nature.
📍Near Teriberka there is a real graveyard of ships! The remains of sea vessels - from small fishing boats to huge boards - is a really breathtaking sight. Be sure to examine the Kanozero Petroglyphs - rock carvings of the IV-ll millennium BC. Since 2008 in the village of Umba in the south of the Kola Peninsula there is a museum "Petroglyphs
of Kanozero". You can see the exhibits there or go on an excursion to the islands.
