Crossroads of Cosmonauts and Lenin. Webcams of the city Apatity

The webcam in Apatity broadcasts a view of the intersection of Lenin and Cosmonauts streets.

In this area there is a well-maintained square "City Lights", shops, a cinema, beauty salons and other objects of urban infrastructure. The broadcast is transmitted in real time.

Apatity, whose webcams are available online on this site, is a city that is better known for its natural resources, northern lights, and important industrial enterprises.

But history, natural resources and achievements in production are reflected in the expositions of local museums. Among the most famous is the Museum of Geology and Mineralogy. It was founded back in the 30s of the last century, but the first exposition was almost destroyed due to a fire. Later, the institution was restored and named after the geologist Igor Belkov.
Today, the museum holds over 9,000 different minerals, rocks, samples of ore mined on the Kola Peninsula. Some of the exhibits are unique in their kind. Many visitors highly appreciated the bright colored minerals.

Another museum, the Historical and Local Lore Museum, will tell about the various stages of the development of the Kola Peninsula, the life and traditions of indigenous peoples, and the minerals of the Khibiny Mountains. The museum was founded in the late 90s.

Today, his collections can be seen in the building of the Central Library. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum presents temporary exhibitions - photo exhibitions, works of fine and decorative art.
The topic of geology in Apatity is given special attention. After all, during the Soviet period, this city turned into one of the largest scientific centers in the country. Today, in the historical part of Apatity, you can see Akademgorodok, next to which a unique Geological Park was built in honor of the city's anniversary. This place is somewhat reminiscent of Japanese rock gardens. Instead of shrubs and trees, here you can see huge blocks - samples of various rocks and minerals. Next to each giant, you can read the information on a special plate.
Another museum on the "ocological" theme is named after Alexander Sidorenko, who worked in Apatity for 11 years. In his service apartment, a museum has been organized with authentically recreated furnishings of the 50s. Furniture, personal belongings, photographs and documents - all this will be interesting to see for history buffs.

For those who are not yet planning a trip to the Arctic, Apatity webcams, which you can watch online on this site, will open the amazing places of this distant land.
