Lake Kanozero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kanozero (Russian: Канозеро) is a lake on the Umba River in Murmansk Oblast in Russia.
The lake is 32 km long and between 3 and 6 km wide. It is situated about halfway between Lake Umbozero and the White Sea. The Umba river enters the lake on the east side, about 5 km from its northern end. Two of the Umba's main tributaries, the Kana and the Muna rivers, flows into the Umba through Lake Kanozero.
The lake has two outflow channels: At Zasheyek-Kanozero at the very southern end of the lake the Rodvinga channel exits through the Kanoserskiy Falls, while 5 km to the northeast the Kitsa channel leaves the lake over the Padun Falls. The channels rejoin in Lake Ponchozero about 10 km downriver.
Lake Kanozero is also known for the Kanozero Petroglyphs. (Petroglyphs of the White Sea Coast)
