Geography The Republic of Karelia is located in Northern Europe, in the north-western part of Russia, washed by the White Sea in the north-east. The main relief of the republic is a hilly plain, turning in the west into the West Karelian Upland. The glacier, retreating to the north, greatly changed the relief of Karelia; moraine ridges, eskers, kams, lake basins appeared in many. The highest point of the Republic of Karelia is Mount Nuorunen.
Climate The weather is changeable. The climate is mild with an abundance of precipitation, changing in the territory of Karelia from maritime to temperate continental. Winter is snowy, cool, but usually without severe frosts, if frosts come, then only for a few days. Summers are short and warm, with high rainfall. Even in June, frosts sometimes occur in the republic (very rarely). Heat is rare and occurs for two or three weeks in the southern regions, but due to high humidity it is noticeable even at 20 ° C. In the northern regions, heat is extremely rare, and lasts no more than a few days.
Geology Subsoil resources of Karelia include: 489 explored deposits, 31 types of solid minerals, 386 peat deposits, 14 deposits of underground water for domestic and drinking purposes, 2 mineral water deposits, 10 officially recognized and over 200 recorded geological monuments.
Main minerals: iron ore, titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, noble metals, diamonds, mica, building materials (granites, diabases, marbles), ceramic raw materials (pegmatites, spar), apatite-carbonate ores, alkaline amphibole-asbestos. granite diabase marble
As of September 1, 2004, the distributed subsoil fund in the Republic of Karelia included 606 active licenses: for precious metals and diamonds 14, solid non-common minerals 16, block stone 94, building stone for the production of crushed stone 76, other common minerals (mainly sand and gravel materials) 286, groundwater 120. More than 600 deposits have been put on the balance sheet. Of these, 378 are peat, 77 are sand and gravel materials, 38 are natural facing stones, 34 are building stones, 27 are sheet muscovite, 26 are feldspar raw materials, 21 are building sands, 13 are groundwater, 9 are milky white quartz, 8 are ore raw materials (iron ores, vanadium , tin, molybdenum), 8 clays, 7 small-sized muscovite, 3 kyanite ores, 7 mineral paints, 4 sulfur-pyrite ores, 3 raw materials for mineral wool, 1 shungite, 1 raw materials for stone casting, 1 quartzite, 1 dolomites for metallurgy, 1 talc stone.

In the republic near the lakes. Together with the swamps, they account for about 2000 km³ of high-quality fresh water. Ladoga and Onega are the largest lakes in Europe. Other large lakes of Karelia: Nyuk, Pyaozevro, Segozevro, Syamozevro, Topoz Euro, Vygozevro, Yushkozevro. Since the territory of Karelia is located on the Baltic Crystalline Shield, many rivers have rapids and are often dressed in stone banks.
Flora and fauna The fauna of Karelia is relatively young; it was formed after the Ice Age. In total, 63 species of mammals live on the territory of the republic, many of which, for example, the Ladoga ringed seal, flying squirrel and brown earflap, are listed in the Red Book. On the rivers of Karelia, you can see the huts of European and Canadian beavers. The Canadian beaver, as well as the muskrat, the American mink are acclimatized representatives of the fauna of North America.
The raccoon dog is also not a native inhabitant of Karelia, it comes from the Far East. From the end of the 1900s, wild boars began to appear, and roe deer entered the southern regions. There is a bear, lynx, badger and wolf. 285 species of birds live in Karelia, of which 36 species are listed in the Red Book of Karelia. The most common birds are finches. There is upland game hazel grouse, black grouse, white partridges, capercaillie. Every spring geese come to Karelia from warm countries. Birds of prey are widespread: owls, hawks, golden eagles, marsh harriers. There are also 40 pairs of rare white-tailed eagles.

There are only 5 species of reptiles on the territory of the republic: common viper, snake, godwit, viviparous lizard and agile lizard.
Just like the fauna, the flora of Karelia was formed relatively recently, 1015 thousand years ago. Coniferous forests predominate, pine forests to the north, both pine and spruce forests to the south. The main conifers are Scotch pine and Scotch spruce. Less common are Finnish spruce (north of the republic), Siberian spruce (east), extremely rare Siberian larch (in Zaonezhye, in the areas bordering the Arkhangelsk region). Small-leaved species are widespread in the forests of Karelia, these are: downy birch, warty birch, aspen, gray alder, and some types of willow. Black alder is found mainly in the southern regions of Karelia, less often in the central, usually in small groups in the valleys of rivers and streams, on the banks of lakes and in wet, swampy places (its separate locations are also in the northern regions of the republic), and small-leaved linden, rough elm, smooth elm, Norway maple grow mainly in the undergrowth, as individual trees or clumps in areas with the most fertile soils in southern Karelia. Karelia is the land of berries, lingonberries, blueberries, cloudberries, blueberries, cranberries grow in abundance here, both wild and wild raspberries grow in the forests, sometimes moving from village gardens. Strawberries and currants grow abundantly in the south of the republic. In the forests, juniper is common, bird cherry and buckthorn are not uncommon. Occasionally there is a red viburnum. In the extreme southwest of the republic (in the northwestern Ladoga region), common hazel is also very rare.

Ecological routes are laid on their territories, there are museums of nature, and scientific tourism is carried out. There are three national parks in the republic: Vodlozersky (partially located in the Arkhangelsk region), Paanajärvi and Kalevalsky.
There are also two reserve museums: "Valaam" and "Kizhi". The Ladoga Skerries Park is at the design and development stage. In addition, in the 2000s, it was planned to create the Tulos National Parks in the Muezersky District and the Koitajoki-Tolvayarvi National Parks based on the Tolvayarvi Landscape Reserve in the Suojärvi District, north of Ladoga.

Journey through the country of Karelia Northern pearl of Russia Shipilina V.D.
On the left, in the west, Karelia borders on Finland. In the east Karelia - with the Arkhangelsk region, in the south - with the Vologda and Leningrad regions. And if we go to the north, then we will get beyond the Arctic Circle, and then to the Murmansk region. Neighbors of Karelia
Symbolism of Karelia Flag Coat of arms Green - nature and vegetation Blue - the color of lakes and rivers of Karelia Red - the color of strength, courage and courage of the people Gold - the color of supremacy, greatness and wealth The central element of the coat of arms is the figure of a bear. The bear was especially revered by the Karelians. At the top of the coat of arms is an eight-pointed golden star, a symbol of the guiding star of the people. Shipilina V.D.
Nature of Karelia and climate Half of the territory of Karelia is forests. And a lot of lakes and rivers. There are many stones in Karelia - traces of an ancient glacier. Winters are quite mild, but summers are cool. Shipilina V.D.
Paws and hooves: who can be found in the Karelian forests Bears are the owners of the Karelian forests. Wolves are another familiar and rather dangerous forest inhabitants, today there are not so many of them in Karelia. In the forests in the south of the republic live the largest wild cats in Europe - lynxes. These rather cute at first glance animals are armed with long and very sharp claws. Various animals live on the territory of Karelia, many of which are listed in the Red Book. Shipilina V.D.
Nature of Karelia There are a lot of coniferous trees in Karelia, where you can find spruce, which is more than 170 years old. Birch grows in Karelia, it has always been highly valued by the people, because of its beauty and special strength. You can also find many berries there: cloudberries, blueberries, blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries, and many different mushrooms Shipilina V.D.
The largest reservoirs of Karelia Onego (Lake Onega) is the second largest in Europe. On the banks of the Onega is the capital of Karelia - Petrozavodsk. Ladoga (Lake Ladoga) is the first largest in Europe. Ladoga is a lake with a cool character, fogs and storms are not uncommon. Belomorye (White Sea), also called the "Bay of Serpents", because of its shape. The so-called northern whale, the beluga whale, lives here. Shipilina V.D.
Fins and tail: who can be found in the Karelian lakes Seals. It seems that they are very slow, because on land they crawl awkwardly from place to place, sighing heavily. But once in the water, seals become very fast. In Karelia, we can meet several representatives: Ringed seal, or ringed seal, lives in the White Sea all year round. There is also the Ladoga ringed seal in Lake Ladoga. At the beginning of winter, herds of harp seals come to the White Sea. It enters the White Sea for fattening, and sometimes another large sea animal winters in it, a toothed whale - a beluga whale. Shipilina V.D.
Embroidery in Karelia In Karelia, as well as throughout Russia, the ability to embroider was a must for every woman. In Zaonezhye, for example, girls' ability to embroider was equated to boys' literacy. Ancient embroideries have survived to this day - towels, valances, countertops, details of folk household and festive costumes. Shipilina V.D.
National cuisine of Karelia Kalitki is a national Karelian dish. Karelian women say "The gate asks for eight." This means that eight ingredients are needed to bake wickets - flour, water, curdled milk, salt, milk, butter, sour cream and filling. Karelians grew turnips in huge quantities, they prepared compotes, kvass from it, baked casseroles and added it to cereals. Dried turnip was the favorite delicacy of little Karelians. Shipilina V.D.
