Lake Lovozero (
Lovozerskiye Tundras
is commonly known as "Ловозёрье" in Russian (Lovozerye, Lovozyorye).
In 1970, two
hydroelectric power plants were built on the Voronya River at Serebryansk
, about 100 kilometers downstream from the lake. The dam at the power plant created a reservoir on the Voronya with the same waterlevel as Lake Lovozero, effectively turning the two bodies of water into one.
One of the most important Rare-earth elements deposits of Europe are located in the Lake Lozovero and nearby areas of the Kola Peninsula.[1]
