Really informative post! I am planning on going to Russia next month and might decide to see the Aurora in Murmansk. I am wondering how much did it cost you to do the Aurora hunting tour? TIA!

Hey Chris! Thank you for the comments! Russia is awesome and I'm excited for your trip! It will be amazing. :) For the aurora hunting tour, I think it was only 25 USD for about 3 - 4 hours trip. There's a tour agency I mentioned here where you can reserve a seat and they leave around 19:00 every day.
I hope this helps!

Hello. Barring cheaper cost to Murmansk - what is your recommendation of possibilities of seeing Northern Lights from Murmansk vs Iceland?

HOW WOLD MURMANSK BE IN MAY. I AM SURE THERE IS NO CHANCE FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. BUT WILL IT BE WORTH TO EXPERIENCE THE ARCTIC .

Iceland definitely has a better scenery for photos than Murmansk. Murmansk is mostly just an industrial town hence why it is not expensive :). Without the cost, Iceland is the way to go

Personally, I think Murmansk is just an industrial town with few tourist attractions and it is not the prettiest of city in Russia so I wouldn't recommend you go all the way up there just to visit Murmansk outside of the northern light period.
