Teriberka is one of the oldest fishing settlements on the coast of the Barents Sea. The nearest settlements along the coast are about 40 kilometers away, so for a long time the village developed in isolation, forming its own way of life and character.

Today, its past is visible in the landscape — in the old houses, half-ruined piers, and characteristic abandoned buildings of Teriberka, which have become an integral part of its visual identity.

One common question is how to get to Teriberka. There is only one road from Murmansk to Teriberka, which passes through the tundra.

Before the trip, it is important to check the weather in advance, as it directly affects the accessibility of the route.
