Kola Peninsula, Russia

Though well within the Arctic Circle, this landform does not experience very frigid winters, owing to the water bodies it is surrounded by. Other Arctic attribute – Northern Lights and Polar Night Blankets for instance – are well in place here. The Kola Peninsula is covered dense tundra forests, which are home to a wide range of flora and fauna. River rapids coursing through the peninsula bring in a variety of fish as well, making the region a popular ecotourism destination. A rich history, manifest in remains of ancient civilizations, adds to the unique Kola experience.
