EXCURSION STOPS Day 1: Arrive at Apatity. Evening presentation on Quaternary geology and geomorphology of the Kola region. Visit to Museum of Geology and Mineralogy, Geological Institute KSC RAS. (Night in Apatity). Museum of Geology and Mineralogy, Geological Institute KSC RAS The Museum of Geology and Mineralogy was founded in 1930-ies attached to the Khibiny Mining Station of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which was later reorganized into the Kola Science Centre RAS. The Museum and associated archives store over 9000 samples of the minerals, ores and rocks of the Kola Peninsula, and exhibit the following: - a systematic collection of minerals; - a collection of ores and other types of mineral resources; - a collection of rocks, and new minerals, discovered on the Kola Peninsula. The collections appear to be a most complete range of the Kola Peninsula minerals, including rare and new minerals, which are unique in habit, colour, size and assemblages that make the collections valuable and excite curiosity of the visitors. The systematic collection of minerals has over 1200 samples exhibited in the showcases grouped in native elements, sulphides, halogenides, carbonates, sulphates, oxides and hydroxides, phosphates, and silicates (fig.1.1.). The collection of the Khibiny and Lovozero minerals impresses with its appearance and diversity, especially because the most minerals are rare mineralogical specimens. Fig. 1.1.
