Lake Kolozero

In the southern Kola Peninsula, Lake Kolvitskoye is a broad freshwater basin covering about 121 square kilometres and reaching depths of twenty metres. The Kolvitsa River leaves the lake and flows toward Kandalaksha Gulf on the White Sea. In 1563 the riverside lands of Kolvitsa were among those donated by Mitrofan Kukin to Kandalaksha Monastery.
