Murmansk: the shining pearl of the Arctic Circle.

Murmansk, the legendary port city in northern Russia, is like a strong and shining pearl embedded in the Kola Peninsula within the Arctic Circle. It is a miraculous seaport that does not freeze all year round. Thanks to the blessing of the North Atlantic warm current, even if it is surrounded by ice and snow, the sea water in the harbor is still flowing. Large freighters and icebreakers shuttle back and forth, loading and unloading cargo. The busy transportation scene is mixed with the white snow and floating shore. The ice forms a sharp contrast, playing an "ice and sea symphony" where industry and nature intertwine. It is also a popular starting point for polar exploration. Every year, countless adventurers with courage and desire for exploration rush to the hinterland of the Arctic to pursue the gorgeous aurora and explore the desolate ice fields. When night falls, the goddess of the aurora often appears, and the green, purple, and pink light strips dance freely in the sky, like a dream, covering the small town with a beautiful "canopy". On the streets and alleys, Russian-style buildings are thick and simple, cafes waft out with warm fragrance, and people wrapped in thick cotton clothes chat and interpret the unique fiery life in an extremely cold place, fully displaying the charm of Murmansk.
