You’ve probably heard that the world's largest city within the Arctic Circle is located in Russia. It's Murmansk.
But do you know that the second largest Arctic city in terms of population is also situated in Russia? It's Norilsk.
In total, over 2.3 million people live above the Arctic Circle in Russia, which is 60 percent of the entire world population that lives in the Arctic. Living conditions are harsh there: polar nights, polar days, long winters, strong winds and difficult logistics. Therefore, private houses are a real rarity in the polar region - the most convenient places to live are in the cities.
Russia's largest Arctic cities are:
1 - Murmansk (267,422 inhabitants)
2 - Norilsk (175,237)
3 - Vorkuta (56,985)
4 - Apatity (48,748)
5 - Severomorsk (43,394)
6 - Monchegorsk (39,477)
7 - Kandalaksha (28,438)
Have you ever been to any of these places? Let us know in the comments!
