Murmansk, Arctic port city in northwestern Russia.
Murmansk stands as a major seaport on the eastern shore of Kola Bay, maintaining year-round ice-free access to international maritime routes through the Arctic Ocean.
The Russian Empire established this strategic port in 1916 during World War I, later serving as a critical base for Allied supply convoys during World War II.
The Northern Navy Museum displays maritime artifacts and documents the naval history of the region through extensive collections of military equipment and photographs.
The central train station connects travelers to Saint Petersburg and Moscow through regular services, while the international airport offers flights across Russia.
The city experiences 40 days of polar night in winter and 60 days of midnight sun in summer due to its location above the Arctic Circle.
