Babozero

Babozero is a small lake (44 square kilometers), located in the southeast of the Kola Peninsula, in the Murmansk region, Tersky district, near the mouth of the Varzugi River. The lake belongs to the basin of the White Sea and is connected to it by the Kitsa River.

Babozero has an elongated shape (about 23 kilometers long and 90 meters wide to 3.5 kilometers). In the central part, a small cape enters the lake, dividing the water space into 2 parts. The lake is fed mainly by atmospheric precipitation.

The shores are covered with lowlands, forests and swamps. In the south-east, there is a picturesque view of the Babozerskie Caves - hills up to 200 meters high. On the northern and central banks rise hills.

In the southwest from the lake originates the river Kitsa. In the north, the rivers Kuevara, Trufjaniha, Tulombalka flow into it, as well as many small rivers and streams. The largest of the nearby islands - Kagachev, lies in the heart of the lake.

Babozero is popular among anglers, as evidenced by the numerous fishing huts on the shores and islands.
