Murmansk

Murmansk is a city in the extreme Northwest of Russia, close to the borders with Finland and Norway. As of the 2002, Murmansk had a population of 336,137.

Murmansk lies on the Kola Bay (which connects to the Barents Sea), and is home to a seaport, which, despite its northerly location, is ice-free all year round. The port is home to Atomfloat, a fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers, and is an important base of the Russian Navy.
