Lake Umbozero

Umbozero lies between the Khibiny mountains to the west and the Lovozero tundras to the east, a long lake deep in the Kola Peninsula. Its largest island is Sarvanovsky, and the lake freezes from late autumn. The Umba carries its waters south through Kanozero towards the White Sea. Mountain slopes and tundra enclose this northern lake, while its river provides a connection to the southern coast of the peninsula.
