Үлкен Янискенгас сарқырамасы, Cascade waterfall in Kandalaksha district, Murmansk Oblast, Russia.
The Bolshoy Yaniskengas waterfall on the Kutsayoki River cascades down through three distinct levels, reaching a total height of 20 meters.
The waterfall has maintained its natural state through centuries, functioning as a geographical marker for local communities in the Murmansk region.
Local residents refer to this waterfall as 'Mamanya', reflecting its status as one of the largest waterfalls in the Kola Peninsula region.
Access to the waterfall requires careful navigation as it remains silent despite its size and can be difficult to spot from approaching paths.
The waterfall features a steep 70-80 degree angle drop, with only five documented successful kayak descents recorded through its rushing waters.
