Kirkenes - a photo on Flickriver

Kirkenes

Kirkenes is the one big norwegian harbour in the Barents Sea.

Even with being this far north-east, the Gulf Stream still has influence on the waters, and keeping the harbour free of ice is no problem even in winter, if ice builds up at all. This happens only on exceptionally cold winters. Coldest measured was nearly -42°C, but the coldest month of the year (february) has only about -13°C.

Kirkenes lies in the same northern region as northern Alaska, and more east, than both neighbors of Norway, Sweden and Finland.

The city is in many things multi-lingual, with norwegian and russian language on many signs, and a big russian part of litrature in the public library.

Many russian ships go to Kirkenes for servicing, some of them never go back to russia, due to payment problems. Some of these old ships you can see in the background, are moored at the Kirkenes piers since more than 10 years.
