Great Woodyavr Lake

Big Woodyavr is the largest lake in the Khibiny (Khiba tundra). It is located in the Murmansk region, in the center of the Kola Peninsula and is a dam-type lake.

Great Woodyavr Lake has a rounded shape and an area of about 4 square kilometers.

The food is usually rain and snow. The shores are rugged and rocky. In the south, the White River flows from the lake, connecting it with Lake Imandra. On the shore there are settlements: in the south - the city of Kirovsk, in the east - the village of Yuksporyok. There is a botanical garden to the north of the lake.

Lake Great Woodyavr offers a picturesque view of the mountains. In the west to the lake adjoins Mount Woodjavrchorr - the highest peak of Khibin. The lake supplies Kirovsk and nearby settlements with drinking water. Besides, there's a lot of fish.

Since 2006, when the lake was discovered a lot of garbage and spilled oil products, the authorities began to monitor its environmental condition.
