This is such a great showcase of the Russian Arctic! I drove into the Arctic through Finland with my family, we really wanted to go to Murmansk but would've needed visas for Russia... instead we made like 10 circles around a roundabout where we photographed the traffic sign for Murmansk :D I really hope to visit it soon!

[@alexandermenzies9954]

Wonderful video, Eli. Your lovely companions are great fun, too. When you're in Scotland next, go to the huge Loch Ewe (west coast) where you'll find a museum dedicated to the Murmansk convoys of WW2. It was there that the Merchant Navy cargo vessels and Royal Navy warships secretly assembled ready to make the voyage , often in atrocious weather, to your northern port and to Archangel. The dangers and sacrifices of the crews can only be imagined.

The contrast between the largest city beyond the Arctic Circle and the small fishing village on the Arctic Ocean's coast was striking. The urban area's resilience and vibrancy juxtaposed with the serene, traditional village life showcased the diverse ways people adapt to the harsh Arctic environment. This trip highlighted the unique cultural heritage and the remarkable beauty of these remote regions, making it an unforgettable visual and educational experience.
