- Kildin Island, located at the Murmansk coast, a few miles east of the exit of the Kola Bay. The largest of the islands, lying at the Murmansk coast. The island - a mystery! It all unusual title, geology, landscapes, lakes, history of development, the inhabitants ...! The island is very different from the mainland to its geological structure. The island is mountainous; gentle slopes, sometimes covered with moss and grass. The western and northern shores of the island are high and steep. The height of the northern shore is constantly decreasing from west to east. In the north-eastern part of the island there is a deep canyon through which flows the stream.
In several places in the north and south of the island on the steep slopes there are small waterfalls with colorful names "girlish braids," Sailor tears & quot ;, which has a waterfall from the wind does not reach to the ground. In the southeastern part of the island Kildin is a convenient harbor for anchoring small boats - Grave Bay, known from the XVI century. Bay for the first time mapped the expedition of Barents in 1594 In XVII-XVIII century. there were crafts Solovetsky monastery. To the east of the bay is a lake Mogil'noe - relict lake formed approx. 2000 years ago. Lake consists of several layers: the top - fresh, down - killing all of the hydrogen sulfide, and in the middle part - saltwater with marine life !!! The lake is home to rare endemic - Kilda cod in the Red Book of the Russian Federation, and the lake itself is a federal monument of nature. This area of the island, the bay, the cape and the lake, called the sepulchral after the barbaric destruction and looting of the British encampment filibuster in 1809 After that the island remained uninhabited for a long time. In the XIX century. It was a project to build a "metropolis" on Kildin, but eventually moved to the Kildin only young couple Norwegians Eriksen. Three generations of the family lived on the island Eriksen approx. 60 years ... At the beginning of XX century. authorities in the region have invested considerable sums in the infrastructure of the island. At the same time, we settled on the island of Social Democrats under the guise of fishermen and organized warehouse and transshipment point for illegal sending literature from Norway in Arkhangelsk.

Many family members were persecuted Eriksen ... Then it began the era of the military to Kildin, which lasted until the early 90-ies of the last century: the observation posts and communications, the first Soviet naval battery MB-2-180, air defense, anti-aircraft guns at first, and later missiles, coastal missile regiment airfield frontier and the necessary infrastructure to ensure that all of the above ... Today Kildin residents are two times .. and as the First World War. Towns razrusheny.Naseleniya net.Vse looted and abandoned, the object - observation posts and communication ... But we believe that exhausted forgotten abandoned the island to revive its former power!
The fauna of the island is represented by many species of birds, including the Red Book, and it is not only gulls, but the birds of prey (buzzards, owls polar). Rare plants can distinguish Rhodiola rosea - "golden root".
