Kola

Kola, a place of only 770 inhabitants, but worthy of notice as the most northern town of European Russia. It is situated on the peninsula of Kola, is the capital of Russian Lapland, and has a capacious harbour. The peninsula of Kola is a dreary expanse of forests and lakes, but has several ranges of mountains, one of which, the Umbek Mountains, on the east side of Lake Imandra, rising to 3300 feet, is the second highest (after the Caucasus) in Russia. See Rae's White Sea Peninsula (1882).
