RTTT Must See: Murmansk Winter Trip under the Northern Lights | Russia Travel

Friends travel to Russia should be an adventure! In Russia drinking colorful drinks near the beach in swim trunks is often not an option. Now hiking up snow covered mountains in Murmansk is always a plan!
Outdoor fun awaits but there are many neat things to see inside the city itself like the Lenin Icebreaker.
Standing above it is the second largest statue in Russia - “Alyosha” who guards the city of Murmansk from bad guys.
Just a bit down the road is the tiny yet infamous fishing village of Teriberka which is truly a symbol of the north. It has a great abandoned school to explore and amazing waterfalls right outside the town. The ship graveyard is also pretty sweet.
We stopped at a geodesic dome hotel to hunt for the Northern Lights in style and comfort but it didn’t exactly work out. What did go well was playing with Huskies at the Saami Ethnic Village. Great fun in the fresh air, that is the spirit of Murmansk and its surrounding region.
