Murmansk & Teriberka
Arctic adventures, Northern Lights, and the rugged beauty of the Barents Sea coast — the edge of the world
Murmansk is the world's largest city beyond the Arctic Circle, gateway to Russia's wild and untamed Arctic. Nearby lies Teriberka, a wind-swept village on the Barents Sea coast that has become a symbol of Arctic beauty, with dramatic cliffs, abandoned fishing boats, and the mighty Arctic Ocean. It is the premier destination for Northern Lights chasers — one of the most spectacular natural phenomena on Earth.
