No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Cities, Photos, Travel
Murmansk is a city with a population of about 300 thousand people located in the northwest of Russia, the administrative center of Murmansk oblast.
Murmansk is the world’s largest city located north of the Arctic Circle. The city stretches more than 20 km along the rocky eastern coast of the Kola Bay, 50 km from the open sea (the Barents Sea).
Murmansk is located 1490 km north of Moscow and 1020 km north of St. Petersburg. The economy of the city is based on the Murmansk sea port – one of the largest ice-free ports in Russia. Photos by: Konstantin Abrosimov.
