Even by Russian standards, the country's northwestern territories contouring the White and Barents seas are vast, remote, and sparsely populated. Yet for seven centuries that faraway province has served as a nursery of religious and intellectual freedom and as a primary entry point for Western civilization and trade, containing several scientific landmarks of interest to the physical tourist. This article is intended as a concise guide to the scientifically relevant attractions in the city of Arkhangelsk and in relatively “nearby” locations that can be reached within reasonable time and with reasonable convenience; these include Mikhail Lomonosov's birthplace on Kholmogory and the Solovetsky islands. We will also briefly mention relevant facts for the somewhat more remote---but still within 1000 km---territories of Kola peninsula and the Novaya Zemlya islands.
