[edit] Tourism

The area is relatively well accessible from railroads. In winter the area is accessble 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.
