Murmansk
Murmansk, located in northwest Russia, is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle. It is a major port on the Barents Sea, remaining ice-free year-round due to the Gulf Stream. The city’s harsh Arctic climate features long, dark winters and short, cool summers. The port handles diverse cargo, including coal, oil, and fish, and plays a critical role in Russia’s Arctic and global trade. It also supports the Russian Northern Fleet.
