Lake Clysterwatn

Lake Klistervatn (Norwegian name Klistervatnet) lies on the Russian-Norwegian border, in the valley of the Paz River. In territorial and administrative terms, it is part of the Norwegian commune of Sør-Varanger and the Murmansk region. Of the 17 square kilometers, just over 12 are located in Norway. Russia accounts for a smaller portion.

The lake is connected with the Barents Sea basin by the Paz River. The food is usually rain and snow. The maximum depth reaches 21 meters. The relief of the coast is flat, sometimes mountainous (mountain Ioroffintunturi). The largest bays are Kuivalahti in the south (in Russia) and Neverskrukkbukta Bay in the west (in Norway).

The largest islands are Ellenholman and Iso Palosaari.

There are many Norwegian settlements on the lake, among which it is worth noting the villages of Sulvik, Vestdal, Koparik, etc. There are no Russian settlements here. On the east coast stretches the highway Kola. Not far from the lake, on the river Paz there is a picturesque waterfall Harefossen.
