Kola Bay on the map


The Kola Bay is located beyond the Arctic Circle, but, thanks to the warm North Atlantic Current, its waters do not freeze in the northern and central parts, only in the southern part the bay is covered with ice near the coast. The tides have a semi-diurnal cycle, at this time the tide level reaches 4 m. Polar day and night are observed in the area of ​​the Kola Bay.


The waters of the Kola Bay are heterogeneous in salinity. surface water less salty (16.5%o) than the deep ones (34%o).
On the western coast of the Kola Bay there are Russian ice-free ports - Murmansk and Severomorsk. The western coast is more gentle, indented with bays and gulfs. The eastern shore of the Kola Bay is mountainous, steep, with many high cliffs and small sand capes.
The Kola Bay is located in the maritime subarctic climate zone, winters here are milder than in general on the Kola Peninsula. Vegetable world characteristic of natural areas tundra and forest tundra. The soil is stony, on which only mosses and lichens feel good. In small quantities, dwarf birches, willows, and larches grow.
Animal world The seas are much richer than the land. live here snowy owl and partridge, many species of sea birds, as well as reindeer, ermines, martens, wolverines. In the waters of the Kola Bay, cod and sea bass, halibut, flounder, catfish, and herring are common. Commercial fishing is carried out here, as well as its processing and transportation.

In 2005, a 4-lane car-pedestrian bridge across the Kola Bay was opened in Murmansk. Construction lasted 12 years. The surface part of the bridge is more than 1.5 km, the total length is 2.5 km. The bridge was built as a year-round operating route to neighboring Finland and Norway.
The waters of the Kola Bay are most polluted in the port areas, but in general, the waters are quite clean. The state program for the protection of the biological complex of the region is also being implemented here.
After the collapse Soviet Union and cuts in military spending, the military bases of the Navy and the associated villages have become "ghosts" in which people still come, but no one lives permanently. Photo materials used from Wikimedia © Foto, Wikimedia Commons
