Kandalaksha, Port city in Murmansk Oblast, Russia
Kandalaksha stretches along the White Sea coast at the head of Kandalaksha Gulf, north of the Arctic Circle at 67 degrees latitude.
The settlement dates back to 1526, when it functioned as a fishing post before growing into a railway connection point between Moscow and Murmansk in 1918.
The town maintains strong connections to maritime traditions through its fishing industry and celebrates its position as a gateway to Arctic navigation routes.
The local train station serves as a major transportation hub on the railway line connecting Moscow to Murmansk, with regular passenger services in both directions.
The town experiences the natural phenomenon of polar days in summer and polar nights in winter due to its location above the Arctic Circle.
