Floating in Murmansk
Ice floating in Murmansk offers an extraordinary sensation: you are in freezing Arctic water, yet you feel perfectly warm. The special thermal survival suit, originally developed for emergency situations in Arctic expeditions, keeps your body warm and floats you on the surface like a buoy. The process is organized with maximum safety and comfort. Participants receive instructions at the ice-floating base on shore, then change into the suits. The group enters a safe water area with no currents and spends 40 to 60 minutes in the water. An instructor accompanies the group throughout. No swimming skills are required — the suit keeps you afloat in both fresh and saltwater. Requirements: age 12 and above, height from 140 cm. Ice floating is available at several locations: Drovyanoye, Park SS on Lake Kildinskoye, and Teriberka. Each location offers a different experience, from calm lake waters to sea conditions. After exiting the water, you change at the warm base and enjoy hot tea. The sensation of swimming in icy Arctic water while staying completely warm, surrounded by Arctic landscapes, is an experience that stays with you forever. This is one of those unique activities that people travel to Murmansk specifically to try — unusual, safe, and absolutely unforgettable.
