ABOUT KOLA BAY
Kola Bay is about 57 km of water area surrounded by indescribable nature and landscapes of city ports. The Kola Bay annually accommodates thousands of ships, and its depth reaches 300 meters.
At the exit from the bay to the Barents Sea lies the hero city – Murmansk. Almost 10 kilometers from the port of Murmansk our journey begins. And at this time, on the left bank of the Kola Bay, in the area of Belokamenka, a grandiose construction began. Along which you will have to go a considerable amount of time.
