Best of Murmansk

Lapland Nature Reserve

The territory between the east border of the Reserve and highway Murmansk-Petersburg is the buffer zone. The Lapland Nature Reserve is not far from Murmansk, and it is possible to arrange excursions to this vast wilderness, inhabited by wolves, reindeer and around 180 different species of birds. Lapland reserve was established to protect the northern taiga and mountain tundra, and particularly to conserve the Kola reindeer.

Northern Light

The polar region is created as if specially for those who dream of watching the Northern lights at least once in a lifetime. Here are forests, endless tundra, rivers, and unruffled surfaces of lakes. This region is for real romantics, who dream of setting off to the Northern Pole on an icebreaker; catching the tsar-fish of the northern rivers – salmon; of skiing down snow covered slopes of the Khibini; watching the beauty of underwater world of the White and Barents Seas.
