Kirovsk, Mining city in Murmansk Oblast, Russia
The city sits at the foothills of the Khibiny Mountains near Lake Bolshoy Vudyavr, surrounded by mineral-rich landscapes at 380 meters elevation.
Founded in 1929 as Khibinogorsk, the settlement expanded rapidly after the discovery of apatite deposits and received city status in 1931.
The northernmost botanical garden of Russia in Kirovsk conducts scientific research on Arctic plants and maintains extensive collections of northern flora.
The winter sports season extends from November through June, with two major ski resorts offering 50 kilometers of slopes for winter activities.
The city developed from open tundra into a mineral extraction center, where mining operations continue alongside scientific research facilities.
