Geography

The area of the district is 52 978 km². Located in the central and northeastern parts of the region. It occupies most of the Kola Peninsula .

In the north and east, the area is washed by the Barents and White Seas. In the west it borders with the Kola region (the rural settlement of Teriberka , the urban settlement of Tumanny and the rural settlement of Pushnoy ), the urban districts of Olenegorsk and the city of Kirovsk ; in the south - with the Tersky district (the urban settlement of Umba and the rural settlement of Varzuga ); on the northern coast of the district is the closed city of Ostrovnoy . In the east, the region is separated from the Arkhangelsk region by a strait 50 km wide.

The area is almost entirely beyond the Arctic Circle . It is poorly populated, the territory mainly belongs to the tundra zone.

The climate of the region on the coast of the Barents Sea is subarctic marine, humid. As you move away from the coast, the severity of the climate increases. The average January-February temperatures are -9-10 degrees in the far north and -13-15 degrees in areas remote from the sea. July, respectively, + 9 + 11 and +14 degrees. Winter is long, with frequent lingering snowstorms. Summer is short, cool and rainy. Frosts are possible on any day of summer; in June snowfalls are not rare. Frosts are very difficult to tolerate due to high humidity and strong winds.

History

The district was formed on the lands of the former Lovozero volost in 1927 as part of the Murmansk district . In 1931 received the status of a national (Komi-Saami-Nenets) region. Since the late 1930s, the area has ceased to be called national. In 1963, the majority of the abolished Sami region became part of the district .

Economics

The main industry is non - ferrous metallurgy . On the territory of the Lovozersky tundra mountain range there is the Lovozerskoe deposit of rare earth metals .
