From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lovozero Tundras (Russian: Ловозёрские тундры, Lovozyorskiye Tundry, named after the lake in that area – Lovozero Lake; the region is also known as Ловозёрье, Lovozyorye) is a mountain range located in the center of Kola Peninsula, in Russia, between Lovozero and Umbozero Lake, and constitute a shoe-shaped ridge of picturesque hills, that surround the Seydozero Lake.

[edit] Tourism
The area is relatively well accessible from railroads. In winter the area is accessible from Khibiny Mountains via the ice of Umbozero. In summer there are usable mountain roads and trails.
[edit] Anomalous activity
The unusual influence of the Tundras, which was the cause of several deaths, is considered mainly with the rock Kuyva (Куйва), the Rayavr Lake, which means “the dead verdure”, and the El-Marayok Pass. The cases of inexplicable terror and the stoppage of watches and electronic devices are known in that region. The phenomenon was studied in 1920 by the expedition of Alexander Barchenko, who was known as a researcher of the human anomalous abilities. However, no satisfactory results have been made.
