Lake Pal'vozero

Palyeozero lies among the forests and lakes north-west of Lake Onega. Its natural drainage ran through a chain of small rivers and lakes, including Krimozero, Khizhozero and Sandal, towards the Suna and Onega. Such waterways join the interior of Karelia to the great lakes of the south, winding between wooded shores and rocky ground. The lake occupies a country shaped by glacial waters and the many basins they left behind.
