In the Murmansk region 15 places for baptismal bathing have been identified. The list may change depending on weather conditions.

Fonts will be installed on lakes Semenovskoye and Srednee in Murmansk, on Lake Imandra in Apatity, on Lake Lumbolka in Monchegorsk, on Lake Glubokoye in Kirovsk. In the Pechenga District, Jordan baths will appear on lakes Kuetsjärvi and Kakkurinjärvi, and in ZATO Aleksandrovsk - on lakes Arno and Torfyanoye. In Severomorsk a font will appear on the river Vaenga. Also bathing will be organized on the lake Kovdor, on the lake in Gadzhievo, on the rivers Uritsa and Malaya Litsa in Vidyaevo and Zaozersk. This is reported by IA "Bi-Port".

Vladimir Matsuev, the chief state inspector for small vessels in the region, noted that the thickness of ice on the rivers is about 30 cm. Holding of mass events is allowed, but it is impossible to allow large crowds of people. At the font there should be no more than ten people at a time. In addition, depending on weather conditions, the list of baptismal baths may be adjusted, in some places may be canceled.

Earlier it was reported that baptismal bathing began to cancel in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Ok rug because of the low thickness of ice. In Nizhnevartovsk will appear artificial fonts on the shore.
