The Murmansk region is an amazing place: if you travel 400 km from south to north, you'll cross three natural zones: taiga, forest-tundra, and tundra. The exposition showcases the rugged beauty of the incredible nature of the Polar region and its industrial potential: in the vast tundra, there are real mountains made of minerals, as about 30% of all known minerals and almost 75% of the chemical elements of Mendeleev's table are concentrated in the depths of the Murmansk region; across the plain flows a river full of salmon, there are two seas, over 19 thousand rivers and more than 100 thousand lakes in the region, and 11% of the total Russian fish catch comes from the Polar region.

The flower bed is created based on the principle of a landscape composition. With the help of cereals (Sedovian feather grass, moor grass, tufted hairgrass, and downy oat-grass), an image of a river is created, where architectural forms in the shape of salmon are installed. Lichens give a bright accent, emphasizing the features of the region. Coniferous trees (Norway spruce) and shrubs (common juniper, rhododendron bushes, primroses, and phloxes) add volume and visual diversity to the exposition.

Individual artificial large stones and groups of samples of minerals and natural rocks (green amazonite and fuchsite, pinkish-gray granite, black diopside, yellowish serpentine, etc.) are placed so that their position and presence seem natural.
