Seydozero

Seydozero is a lake in the center of the Kola Peninsula, lying in the Lovozero tundra, at an altitude of just under 190 meters above sea level. The river Elmorayok flows into it. From space, Seydozero looks like a pearl lying in the shell of the Lovozero tundra.

The name in Sami sounds like “Seydjavr”, which means “sacred lake”.

With Seydozer connected countless tales and beliefs. There are often anomalous phenomena. No wonder the lake is one of the main "places of power" in Russia. At the Saids located here, the Sami made sacrifices every year. And in a huge plague collected jewelry and gold nuggets - a gift to the gods.

According to one legend, when the Sami were attacked by Norwegian soldiers, the sanctuary was burned and the treasures were flooded by locals in the lake. Fantasy and ufologists suggest the existence here once Hyperborean civilization, which contradicts the history of the lake.

The coast is famous for the rock with the image of Kuyve - a giant who lived in the tundra according to local legend.

The evil man who attacked the settlements of the giants was punished by the gods and incinerated by lightning, and on the rock of Mount Angwundaszorr remained an imprint similar to a human body 72 meters high.
