Murmansk Braces Itself for an Arctic Winter

Residents of Murmansk gather on the city's main square during the final concert of the "Autumn in Murmansk" festival as young and old gear up for a long winter that could see temperatures plummet to -30 degrees Celsius.

The night ends with an extensive firework show from the roof of the city's recently renovated Arktika Hotel ?€” the tallest building north of the Polar Circle.
