Lake Yelmozero

Yelozero lies west of Segozero in the forested interior of Karelia. The Voloma runs through its long basin towards Segozero, and its waters eventually reach the White Sea by the Segezha and Vyg. Old routes also followed the Voloma upstream, crossing short portages toward the Peninga and Leksozero. Islands interrupt the narrow lake, while the river joins it to a succession of other waters among the woods.
