Kuzova, Island group in White Sea, Russia.
Kuzova is an island group in the White Sea off the Russian Arctic coast. The islands consist of rocky formations rising up to 123 meters (404 feet) and feature varied terrain shaped by the harsh northern environment.
The islands were visited and used by people over many centuries, as shown by archaeological finds scattered across the site. These discoveries reveal that the region has long played a role in human settlement of the Russian north.
The islands contain numerous archaeological sites preserved under federal protection, providing researchers with insights into the traditions of northern Russian communities.
Getting to the islands requires careful planning due to the remote location in the White Sea and difficult weather conditions. Visitors should be prepared for changeable conditions and plan visits only during periods of stable weather.
The islands have long served as navigation markers for ships in the White Sea, with each formation recognizable from a distance. These natural landmarks have helped sailors orient themselves in these challenging waters.
