Aurora Borealis – A Spectacular Natural Phenomenon

The Aurora Borealis is a unique natural phenomenon that draws visitors from around the globe to the Kola Peninsula. Each year, as the polar night envelops the region, opportunities to witness this extraordinary spectacle arise.

Engaging with the Northern Lights offers an excellent chance to explore the enchanting nightscape of Murmansk. Visitors can admire the contrast of thousands of artificial lights against the dark velvet of the polar night, illuminating avenues and squares. Standout locations such as the longest bridge outside the Polar Circle across Kola Bay, the seaport, and various key streets—alongside restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, monuments, and temples—provide a comprehensive visual experience of this vibrant city.

Weather permitting, one may be fortunate enough to witness the most remarkable wonder of the polar night—the Northern Lights. The experience of observing the shifting, iridescent colors of the Aurora Borealis is unforgettable. Those who have seen it at least once carry that memory with them always.

It is important to note that the Northern Lights are notoriously unpredictable. The best viewing season typically runs from October to March, making it essential for prospective viewers not to miss this opportunity.
