Ponchozero

Ponchozero is connected with the water system of the White Sea flowing from it by the Umba River. It is located in the south of the Kola Peninsula, in the Murmansk region. The lake is usually fed by snow and rain. The coastline is rugged.

In the 9-kilometer picturesque Ponchozero flows the river Kitsa. A little further south into it flows Rodving (left channel of the river of the same name). In the places of confluence there are complex thresholds - Ponchosersky and Podkrynets.

The shores of the lake are picturesque, in places rocky and covered with forests, mainly pine. The lake is at an altitude of 45 meters above sea level. The total area is 20 square kilometers, and the length is only 3 kilometers.
