Pomir is separated from the sea by the Kemi peninsula [4] 18 km long and is connected to the Sakhalin Gulf by a narrow strait. The shore of the bay is slightly indented, low, mostly sandy. During low tide, the bottom is exposed at a distance of up to 2 km from the coast [5] .
On the swampy shore of the bay, a sparse forest of larch grows with cedar dwarf , wild rosemary, blueberries, cloudberries. On the west coast, a mixed forest of larch, white birch, mountain ash with cedar dwarf dominates. The soils around are mainly marsh peaty and peaty-gley soils of high bogs [5] .
The bay freezes in November. The ice period lasts more than 200 days [5] .
The avifauna of the land is very diverse, some species of birds are listed in the Red Book of Russia [5] .
Recently, the Gulf of Pomr has become shallow, as a result it freezes in places and access to fish from the sea is closed here - navaga and smelt, which are the objects of fishing for the local population. The water area of the bay is subject to pollution from a household landfill in the village of Nekrasovka [6] .
