Looking back toward Murmansk, as we continue up the channel, over the

Further up the channel is the
Severomorsk
Russian naval base, administrative headquarters of the
Russian Northern Fleet,
with the customary agglomeration of massive Soviet apartment blocks.
Open sea visible at last!
As we pass into the
Barents Sea,
this is the last land we'll see
before arriving at Franz Josef Land.
