Alakurtti, human settlement in Kandalakshsky District, Murmansk Oblast, Russia
Alakurtti is a small village located at the border between Russia and Finland in the Lapland region. The settlement consists of scattered buildings across a remote landscape with forests and open spaces surrounding the area.
The village developed as a border settlement between two nations and was inhabited by Finns during the 20th century. After World War II, the territory became part of the Soviet Union, fundamentally changing its status as a frontier settlement.
The village is difficult to reach and located in a very remote area with limited facilities available. Visitors should expect basic conditions and check access routes in advance since this is a border region.
