Tunkuo

Tunkuo, known in Russian as Tunguda, is a Karelian village by Lake Kosmysozero in White Karelia. It was one of the districts belonging to the Shuyezero pogost in the sixteenth century; an early form of its name appears in documents from that period. The Tunguda river flows through the neighbouring lake country towards the lower Vyg and the White Sea. Forests, lakes and small settlements characterise the inland country around the village.
