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.

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...

nicolai was the official guide on the spot and he was friendly and and kept our small group of six very well taken care of. lunch served in a hut beautifully constructed and it was tasty. we all looked like matryoshka dolls when we put on an overall “coat.” the husky-pulled sled ride was a real thing and thrilling. a friendly place in a friendly country.
