LADOGA LAKE

Lake Lake, ancient Russian title - Nevo, (Ladoga - Karelsk. Luadogu, Fin. Laatokka) - Lake in Karelia (C and To Coast) and the Leningrad Region (s, Yu and You Shore), the largest freshwater lake in Europe. Refers to the Baltic Sea basin. The area of \u200b\u200bthe lake without islands is from 17.6 thousand km² (with the islands of 18.1 thousand km²); The volume of the water mass is 908 km³; The length of the south to the north is 219 km, the greatest width is 138 km. The depth is uneven in the northern part it ranges from 70 to 230 m, in South - from 20 to 70 m. On the shores of Ladoga Lake there are cities of Priozersk, a new Ladoga, Schlisselburg in the Leningrad region, sorted, Pitkyaranta, Lachdenproje in Karelia. More than 30 rivers fall into Lake Lake, and only one - Neva takes. In the southern part of the lake - three large bays: Svirkaya, Volkhovskaya and Shlisselburg lip.

The name of Ladoga wears river, lake and city. At the same time, until recently, it was not quite clear which of the names is primary. The name of the city was output from the name of the Lake Ladoga (from Fin. * Aaldokas, Aallokas "Worker" - from Aalto "Wave"), or from the name of the Ladoga River (now Ladoga, from Fin. * Alode-Joki, where Alode, Aloe - "Low The locality "and jok (k) I -" River ").

In PVL 12 V. Mentioned as "Lake Great Nevo." Perhaps from the name of the River Neva. Etymological Russian-language dictionary of Fasmer: Neva - River, connecting Lake Ladoga and Fin. Bay, for the first time Dr.-Russian. Neva, live. Alexander Nevsk. (XIII century), p. 2; Previously also Nevo - Ladoga Lake (review. years and yet in the book. Big features.). From Fin. Nevajoki, Nevajarvi from NEVA "Baloto", from where and Shv., CP.-NJ. Na "Neva", perceived by People. etymology as "new (river)".Etymological dictionary of Krylova: Neva - the name of the river, on which King Peter built a new capital of Russia, goes back to the Finnish name of Nevajoki - "Swamp River" formed from the word NEVA - "swamp".

In the saga, and later in contracts with the Hansees cities, Lake is referred to as Aldog (Wed Fin. Aalto - Wave). Since the beginning of the XIII century, the name is located in the city's dough - Lake Lake, formed from the name of the city of Ladoga, in turn, called the same name of the commander of the Volkhov River in its lower flow (Fin. Alodejoki - River in low-terrain). Other options for the origin of the lake name: from the Karelian word Aalto (Karelsk. Aalto - Wave; from here Karelsk. Aaltokas - Wavy). Part of the researchers are considered the primary hydronism of Ladoga, from Dr.-Fin. * Alode-Jogi (Joki) "Lower River".

There is also a hypothesis about the origin of the word "Ladoga" - from the dialect Russian word -alav - Meaning open lake, extensive water field (Mammont N. Toponymy Ladget). Etymological Russian-language dictionary of Fasme: Alder - Well. "Polyana, extensive and smooth locality", Arkhang, Mes., (Dal), also "Open Lake, an extensive water field", Zoons. (Sandpiper).

The Ladoga Lake Basin has glacial and tectonic origin. In Paleozoic 300 - 400 million years ago, the entire territory of the modern lake lake basin was covered with the sea. The sedimentary sediments of that time are sandstones, sands, clays, limestone - cover a powerful thickness (over 200 m) a crystalline foundation consisting of granites, gneisses and diabases.

The modern relief was formed as a result of the activities of the glacial cover (last, the Valdai glaciation ended about 12 thousand years ago). The main factor was: change in the level of the world's ocean, the water of the glacier and its weight - began (and continues) the rise of sushi. After the departing of the glacier about 12,600 years ago, a fresh Baltic Ice Lake was formed with a level of 25 meters above the ocean. About 10-9.6 thousand years ago, the water of the lake broke through in the region of Central Sweden and the Aloldiye Sea was formed, the level of which was 7 - 9 m above the modern level of the Baltic Sea.

Approximately 9500 years ago, Sushi raised the shed in Central Sweden and an anchoric lake was formed. In the north of the Karelian Isthmus, it was combined with a wide strait with the Lake Ladoga. The MGA river at that time flowed to the east and fell into the lake in the area of \u200b\u200bthe modern source of the Neva.

Approximately 8500 years ago, the Tectonic processes open the Danish sheds and the Latio Sea is formed. The water level was albeit significantly higher than the current one, but less than in the Lake Anchyl. This led to the formation of the Karelian Isthmus, and the formation of Lake Ladoga.

How long the lake was completely isolated - it is unknown - the water level in the lake rises faster than the rise of sushi occurs, and when the level of Ladoga exceeded the level of watershed, lake water, flooding the valley of the MGU river, broke through the Tosna River Valley.

Thus, about 4 thousand years ago, a new strait between Lake Lake and the Finnish Bay, which became the Valley of the Neva River. The old strait in the north of the Karelian Isthmus by this time was already above the lake level. Last 2.5 thousand years, the relief has not changed significantly.

The northern part of the Lake Ladoga lies in the Baltic Crystal Shield, South - on the Eastern European Platform. In the area nearest to Ladoga, the southern border of the shield passes approximately along the Vyborg - Priozersk - the mouth of the Vidica River - the source of the River Sviri.

The crystal foundation of the northern ligation refers to the ancient primary foundation of Fennoscandia and formed about 2000 million years ago. These are the most ancient geological formation on earth. For millions of years, the ancient mountains of the beetralist shakeped to the picturesque hills, rocks and cliffs. Wpadina Ladoga Lake was formed in the tertiary period as a result of a powerful geological discharge. At the same time, as a result of faults, the formation of the archipelago and the coastal part of the North-West shore of Lake Ladoga. 12 thousand years ago, after the departure of the glacier, almost the entire surface of the liking was under the water of the ancient Baltic Ice Lake. The climate, water level and salinity of the lake changed gradually. About 4000 - 3000 years ago, the formation of the Neva and the level of Lake Lake decreased by 10 meters.

At the end of 9 V.N.E. The change in the hydrography of the region (lowering the level of the Baltic and, respectively, the Lake Ladoga), led to the simultaneous process of cropping the rivers of the Ladoga basin, including wolf with tributaries.

There is such a charming edge in Russia, the attractiveness that gorgeous mirror stroits are attached to countless lakes. Some information about this wonderful place can be found from this article. It will be told about the diversity of the landscape of this region, about where Lake's Lake is located. Description will also be given.

This territory occupies the Northwest part of the Great Russia. She is a little careful and at the same time surprisingly attractive and diverse. Taiga landscapes are replaced by swamps with rich cloudberry, lingonberries and cranberries. Plots more elevated decorate spruce and finely forest forests.

This is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Europe. The length is 219 km, and the largest width is 138 km. The eastern and northern part of it belongs to Karelia, and the South and Southeast Beach belong to the Leningrad region. The water content of this lake is 908 km³.

Previously, the littoric sea was combined with a wide strait with the lake, and r. MGA flowed to the east and also fell into it.

Where there is now, Susha rose quickly, and thus the lake has become a closed look in the reservoir. The water level began to increase, its water was flooded with the valley of the r. MGA and broke through the Valley of the Tosna. 4000 years ago, a shed between the Finnish Bay and Ladoga Lake appeared, which is now the valley r. Neva. The relief over the past approximately 2.5 thousand years has not changed.

The northern part of Ladoga Lake is located on the Baltic Crystal Shield, and the Southern - on the Eastern European Platform.

From the history of Lake Lake

The described lake is present at one of the most first geographical maps of the Moscow state, which was compiled in 1544 by Sebastian Münster (German Cartographer). A more detailed map was presented in 1812 at the Admiralty Department.

Ladoga for Russia has always been an important strategic value. In the 9th century, an important waterway from Varyag was held here in the Greeks. There is also a documentary confirmation of the existence of Nevo (the name of the Lake Lake in Starina) - ancient Russian chronicle dated 1228. And the first capital to Kievan Rus was at the lake in Ladoga. Volkhov. Petrovskaya time is also associated with this lake. Ladoga lake was witnessing the battles of the times of the Northern War.

Where Lake Ladoga is located, there have been a huge many significant historical events. All do not list. But it is important to note that Lake Ladoga is the "Road of Life" during the Second World War. Most of the coast of the lake into this difficult time for the country was in the German-Finnish occupation. People of Leningrad were cut off from around the world. Only the southwestern part of the lake was open to reports with Soviet troops (1941-1943). This path began from the port of Osinovets Ladoga Lake and ended in the docks of Leningrad.

Over the entire period of the existence of this road, it was transported and more than 1.5 million tons of cargo, which allowed Leningrad to hold out the living in living residents to the blockade. Also on this road, about 900 thousand people were evacuated.

Much of history keeps in itself this great lake. Today, at the place where the most important "way of life" was running, there are 102 memorable posts and 7 monuments. All of them are listed in the "Green Belt of Glory." This is the memory of those who have passed very difficult times.

The nature of the northwestern part of Russia is distinguished by amazing attractiveness. The incomplete beauty of taiga landscapes replace the vast marshes of the taiga landscapes. The elevated areas are decorated with small forests and spruce. But the unique charm of this edge of the Russian nature gives mirror stages of numerous lakes.

Ladoga lake - The largest in Europe, the length of which is 219 km with the greatest width - 138 km. The northern and eastern part of the reservoir belongs to Karelia. Western, southeast and southern shores of Ladoga Lake are in the Leningrad Region. Ladoga accommodates 908 km³ of water. Replenishment of water resources occurs due to 35 flowing rivers. It follows from Lake Lake One River - Neva.

Ladoga Lake Square - 18135 km², coastline length - 1570 km. The relief of the bottom is distinguished by sharp drops in the north and more gentle character in the south. The values \u200b\u200bof the depths of Ladoga Lake are distinguished by a large variety: from 60-220 m in northern and from 15-70 in the southern part. Usually, the coolest and above the shore, the greater depths are observed near them. Near the Valaam archipelago, the maximum depth of Lake Lake - 233 meters was recorded.

Islands of Ladoga Lake

In the water area of \u200b\u200bLake Lake there are about five hundred large and small islands. The biggest of them make up the Valaam archipelago. The Konevetsk monastery famous in the Orthodox world at Lake Ladoga erected on another major island - Konevets, about 600 years ago. Some of the islands are separated from each other with small straits - famous Schkers Ladoga, giving this edge unique beauty.

Ladoga Lake History - Historical Mentions, "Road of Life", Finds and Artifacts

Ladoga is present at one of the first geographical maps of the Moscow State, compiled in 1544 by the German cartographer Sebastian Münster.

The first detailed map of Ladoga lake was at the Admiralty Department in 1812.

For Russia, Ladoga had strategic importance: through its expanses in the 9th century, an important part of the water path "From Varyag in Greeks" was held. Documentary mention of "Great Lake Nevo" (the Ladoga Lake in Starina) is first found in the Old Russian Chronicles of 1228. The first capital to Kievan Rus was close to the place of sign in Lake Lake Volkhov River.

Novgorodians kept shopping ships and military flotilla on Ladoga. Many pages of the Petrovsky era are closely related to this lake. Local edges - witnesses of glorious battles in Lake Ladoga during the Northern War.

"The road of life"

During World War II, from 1941 to 1944, most of the coast of Lake Ladoga was located in the German-Finnish occupation. Residents of cities and villages were actually cut off from the world. And only in the southwestern part of the Ladoga was a message with Soviet troops. This "way of life" operated since September 1941 and March 1943. The path associated the inhabitants of the Blood Leningrad with the rest of the country. The "Road of Life" began on the port of Osinovets in Lake Ladoga, and ended in the docks of Leningrad. In the summer of water, and in the winter in the ice road, food, medicines and things of necessities were transferred to the city under the city of enemy shells. In total, 1.6 million tons of various cargo were sent for the existence of "roads of life", which allowed to hold out the residents of Leningrad before the blockade was removed. But on this way, food was taken and exported people. So evacuated approximately 1,400 people. At the place where the "Road of Life" was running, 7 monuments were established and 102 memorable post. All of them are made to the Green Belt of Glory.

Finds at the bottom of the Lake Lake

The bottom of the Ladoga still keeps numerous interesting and valuable artifacts of various temporary eras. Ancient Vikings, soldiers of the Northern and Great Patriotic War left their mark. Of course, first of all, Lake Lake hides traces of World War II. Bright example of the "Cove of Death". In this place in August 1941 there was an urgent evacuation of rifle and motorized Soviet divisions. Within two weeks under fierce artillery-mortar fire, the ships were removed from the coast of fighters. Little bay literally flooded with shells. Until now, all the bottom of the lake is covered with a layer of sleeves, fragments of shells and iron.

For more than ten years, the project "Secrets of sunken ships has been carried out throughout the Lake Ladoga. The participants of this project make up the register in which the description of the sunken ships and aircraft contributes. Thanks to fresh cold water, Ladoga, all objects are perfectly saved at the bottom. They are of great interest to diving lovers.

Ladoga Lake on the map of Russia and the depth map

The historical name of the Lake Ladoga is Nevo. The reservoir is located on the border of two areas. The southwestern part is located in the Leningrad Region, and Northeast - in the Republic of Karelia. The area of \u200b\u200bthe reservoir is very large, so it is conditionally divided into parts. The North Application belongs to South Karelia, two areas of the Leningrad Region are southern, Volkhovsky and Kirovsky. Lake Lake is also divided into Eastern and Western Ladogo: Olonetsky district of the Republic of Karelia and Karelian End, respectively.

On the shores of Ladoga of the lake in the Republic of Karelia, the city of Sortavala, Lachdenprook, Pitkyaranta. From the Leningrad region there are also large settlements - the cities of Priozersk, Shlisselburg and the new Ladoga. A lot of small and large tributaries fall into the lake, and only one river flows from it - the Great Neva. In the southern part of the reservoir there are three beautiful large bays. This is Schlisselburg, Swirkaya and Volkhov's lip.

Geographic map

Ladoga Lake Ladoga

The relief of the Ladoga Lake is heterogeneous. The depth gradually increases from the south to the north. In the northern part, the surface of the bottom is uneven, a lot of depressions and underwater cliffs. The depths of 100 meters and more prevail. In the north, the Ladoga marked the biggest

the depth of the lake, which is equal to 230 meters. The depth of the depression opposite the Kuryyoksky Schker comes to a mark of 220 meters.

In the southern part of the Ladoga, the relief is smoothed. There are no deep depressions and sharp drops. Depths oscillate between 25-50 meters. But this is not particularly noticeable, because the bottom relief is smooth, without rocks and pits. Closer to the center of the lake, the depth has in the average value of 50 meters.

Climate and weather in Lake Ladoga

The climate in the lag is wet and soft, close to the sea. Winter Although cold, but passes without strong frosts, summer is cool. The ice rolls the lake at the end of October and keeps until the beginning of May, and the central part of the Ladoga freezes not every winter. The greatest thickness of the ice is observed in the bays - 30-60 cm.

The average annual water temperature in Lake Ladoga is 3.5 ° C. For this, the reservoir is characterized by spring and autumnal presence of a thermal front with warmer water, gradually moving away from coastal shallow areas to the center of the lake. On a warmer south coast, the water in Lake Lake warms up to +20 ° C, although at the same time at the depths of the thermometer does not show the temperature above +4 ° C. The thermal front is detected by the frame formed by the foam strip with the floating garbage and the pieces of gulls, which are hunting for small fish.

The weather is distinguished by impermanence - the full calm literally per hour is replaced by a real storm. In the lag with strong winds, the waves reach a 4-meter height, and the Walaam island has been recorded a wave of 7.5 m high Numerous protruding cans and a variety, acquires the character of a random crow. The instability of weather conditions is associated with a sudden invasion from the Arctic of cold air masses. The cunning temper of unrest on the Lake Ladoga caused the death of a huge number of ships and small boats.

In 2002, the expedition-research project "Secrets of sunken ships" was launched, whose experts revealed more than 10 thousand objects, sunken in Ladog and Finnish Gulf. Most of the finds at the bottom of the Lake Lake, thanks to fresh water and low temperatures, are preserved in amazingly good condition and cause great interest among scientists and treasures.

Unusual natural phenomena in Ladoga

Some local places are characterized by unusual natural phenomena, which gave rise to a lot of Lake Lake Ladoga. To clear warm weather over a watercharow, Mirages can suddenly appear - the imaginary outlines of remote islands, coastal floors floating ships.

Another unique phenomenon - armoredness. From under the earth on the shore or straight from the lake, a distinct hum is coming, accompanied by a weak oscillation of the Earth or the drilling of water. More often this phenomenon is observed near. Balaam. Scientists explain this interesting phenomenon with tectonic movies occurring at the bottom of the lake.

The nature of Lake Ladoga: animals, plants and fish

Many areas of Lake Lake are preserved in pristine beauty. In the picturesque faults of the harsh cliffs, overlook the ancient story of this edge. Islands, stony shames, the slopes of the mountains, covered with pine woods, were once covered by the waters of the prehistoric sea, Straighting in the north to the Ocean.

In the protected areas of Ladoga, the lake there are rare types of flora and fauna. On the picturesque slopes of the reef mountains addressed to the south, the southern species of plants (onions linear, sandy carnation) grow by these latoms. The northern sections on the shores of Lake Lake chose Tundra plants: Snow and Yascolka Alpine Camery. At the foot of the mountains are well felt by representatives of the deciduous forests: the maple is ostrooty and elm (Ilm Mountain). Numerous choppers in June decorate purple aconites with their flowering.

Another animals are found on Ladoga: foxes, moose, hares, wolves, bears, etc. Splow rocks in the north are a roof for a very rare species - Ladoga Nerva. This marine mammal adapted to the conditions of freshwater lake. Ladoga Neropa reaches 130 cm long and 50-70 kg of weight. The skin of this animal decorates the pattern of pale rings (ringed - another nerve name). In February-March, they are prepared in snowy torus holes, where the female takes on the light of one 4-kilogram of a young. When the lake is freed from the ice coating, the flocks of the nerve go on the shores of the Valaam archipelago.

Fish inhabiting in the lake

The Ladoga of Lake Ladoga is more than 50 species of fish, including sigal and salmon rocks. About half of the field prey on Ladoga accounts for pikeout, ciga and born. And both commercial importance are: carp (roach, bream, ome), perch, ripper, pike, trout, ersh. It is found in the local waters of Midhog (stream and river), guster, a story. The main fishing fish - Sudak, lives in Ladog in a smallest southern half of the lake. Often it reaches 8 kg of weight here. Ladoga salmon prefers the northern depths of the Ladoga, and it goes to spawning on the rivers flowing into the Lake Lake (stormy, vidnitsa, switches). And also in the northern regions of the lake dwells Ostr Baltic, Palia, occasionally meets a sterling.

Fishing in Lake Ladoga - Winter from Ice and Outdoor Water

Return from the Ladoga, with significant catches you can all year round. The content of dissolved oxygen dissolved in Ladoga water is approaching 100%, so the period of "Ceremiamia" is not observed here, and this Lake Lake is relatively different from most inland reservoirs.

Winter fishing from ice on Ladoga

Winter on this lake is a fish season, but also quite dangerous. Strong winds can cause the separation of soldering. Sometimes huge ice fields with a flip of the wind are scattered into small ice floes for a short time.

The distances here are large, so good fishing is not presented without a snowmobile or car. Fully palm is covered with ice very rarely, and usually strong ice is formed around the perimeter of the coast at no further than 10-15 km. But this distance is quite enough for productive fishing. Perch and roach prefer to stay at a depth of 3-6 m in winter, and for this most often you will need to cut holes at a small distance from the shore. Many fishermen find a pike in the lag in the winter in the crying cane shallow water, where the depth does not exceed 50 cm under the ice.

But the most interesting fishing in Ladoga in winter is catching the perch on the vertical gloss. The perch here lives like small (up to 200 g) and quite decent sizes (up to 800 g). Fishermen usually apply glitter with a plug-in crochet or brilliantly with nose-hooks suspended on a chain.

Fishing in Ladoga Lake Open Water

Trolling on Ladoga

Ladoga lake richly fish. It is caught in different ways: both on the float, and on spinning from the shore. But the most exciting is the fishing trolling. A large pike and pike perch come across the bait of bait, but if you are lucky you can endure and Ladoga salmon. If we talk about trolling, then this type of catch is not only the most sporty, but also effective. All because it is possible to spend a wobbler or a different bait along the large area of \u200b\u200bthe reservoir. You can change the level of bait of bait and thereby rolling various depths. And the most important thing is that there are those sections of the lake in search of a decent trophy where the regular Klevel is observed, but there is no possibility of approach from the shore. You can troll on the lag in the day and night.

In the north, Ladoga in Karelia salmon is caught at various depths, from 10 to 70 meters. It depends on the plot of the reservoir. The main thing is to constantly monitor the character of the bottom and bait, since here for counting minutes the depth can change from 40 to 4 meters. Fishing is also complicated by a regular need to change the level of blurred wobbler, which is not required when fishing in the southern part of the lake.

When trolling on pike or pike perch use from two to twelve spinning. The more bait, the better Klev. This is explained by the fact that the wobblers imitate the movement of a small flock. And this will undoubtedly cause interest among the predator. Trolling rod differs from standard spinning. First, he should have a long and durable handle. Secondly, it is desirable to preserve a little more bandwidth, from 12 to 14. This will help more evenly distribute the load on the rod. Thirdly, the length of the spinning is important. It is best to give a preference to a rod with a length of 2.1 or 2.4 meters, this will be quite enough.

Accordingly, no less relevant and correctly pick up the bait. Predators Ladoga are very capricious. Therefore, you never know that they will prefer. The supply of all sorts of wobblers, silicone twisters and vibrohvosts should be not small. But it is safe to declare that the most catchy bait length from 8 to 12 cm. The true skill of the fisherman is not at all to pick up a wobbler as much as possible fish, but in order to competently teach it.

Fish catching in the spring

On the lag, however, as on other water bodies, the fish in a mass order comes to the shore. A large roach starts to catch, when the blocks of ice still float along the water stroit. In the catch of the fishermen of the "first movement" of the roach, there are instances of 0.8-1.2 kg. Over time, fish becomes more, but a trifle begins to prevail in the catch. Catch the roach by the float fishing rod to the layout or cutting worm at the edges of the reed thickets at the smallest depths. Fake fish does not make sense - the fish is engaged searching for a place for spawning and forget about hunger. It is much more important to conduct an active search for fish.

Following the roach, a guster and bream goes to spawning, but their size and quantity are not particularly interested in fishing. Here is the next for this Zhor Schuki promises very interesting fishing. During this period, a spotted predator successfully catch "relief" from the southern shore of Ladoga Lake, in reed thickets. During this period, 3-6 kilogram copies sometimes come across. Pike not only catching the shore in reeds, but also on open water, within 30-40 meters from coastal vegetation. Apply for fishing pikes in Ladoga Lake most often large turntables or gloss-non-shifters.

Fishing in Lake Ladoga during the White Nights

The greatest interest in this period represents night fishing. In Ladog, trolling lovers run along the rocky ridges at 3-10 km from the coast. Sudak actively moves in all layers of water, so they catch it simultaneously by several spinning, equipping them with wobblers with different perplexes. Rounty wobblers for Ladoga are favorites for hunting for pike perch. The most versatile colors are "acid" and "blue back". The main catch is pikepets 1.5-5 kg, but 10-kilogram trophies may be met.

A large pike dwells on the same rocky ridges, but you can catch it on larger bait (8-11 centimeters shad).

Fishing in the lag in summer

Perch at this time begins to hunt for the grudge fals. Lovers of catching "Relief" are armed with a slight spinning and go to search for a mustache perch. The easiest way to detect grappling perch through the seagulls. If the pack is detected, then only the speed of the discharge can affect the size of the catch.

Going far beyond the horizon of a blue lake ... Fancy boulders, guarding the approaches to Bor ... Spring-sized painting of the picturesque islands ... The walls of an ancient monastery, approaching the water itself ... winding bays, shrouded in a smoke of fogs. All this is a majestic and unique Ladoga.

Lake Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Europe. Located on the territory of Karelia and the Leningrad region.

The first name of the lake was different. In the ancient Russian chronicles, it was called Nevo. Scientists believe that the name happened from the Finnish word "swamp, quagm." In the treaties concluded with Hanseatic cities and in the Scandinavian sagas, he is called Aldog, from the Finnish "Wave". The current name is in use only since the beginning of the 13th century. The lake began to call Ladoga, forming the name from the name of the city of Ladoga.

Scientists have proven that the Ladoga Lake Lake of Ice and Tectonic Origin. In the Epoch of Paleozoic, the water of the ancient sea splashed here, later the glacier was formed in this place, in many respects, formed a modern relief of the reservoir and surroundings. The area of \u200b\u200bthe lake is 18,400 square kilometers. Its length from the south to the north is about 219 km. The maximum width of the reservoir (from the west to the East) is 138 km.

Due to its origin, Ladoga is distinguished by uneven depths. The most "small" part of the lake is South. Local depths do not exceed 70 m. But in the northern part, the average depth of Lake Lake is about 100 m. There are places where the water thickness reaches 260 m.

The Lake Ladoga is notable for regularity: the coagher, the greater depths of them are located. The highest and steep shores in the north, directly at Schächer. In the south, they are more gentle and depth there are small.

By the way, the peculiarity of the Ladoga is an uneven water level. In the old days they said that he grows seven years and falls seven years. On average, the water reserves of the lake make up 908 cubic kilometers. For comparison, Baikal - 24,000 km³.

There are 32 rivers in Lake Lake, and only one - Neva flows out of it. Many rivers connect a palogue with other lakes. Through Volkhov, it is connected to the Lake Ilmen, through the Spear River - with Onega, through the Vidditsy - with the Vedotozer, through Tullema - with Tulmboser.

Lake is rich in the islands. Most of them are in the north. These are famous Ladoga Schhers, a beautiful necklace of islands, which are divided among themselves by a whimsical labyrinth of the straits. Composite part of Ladoga Schker is the most famous Valaam archipelago, where the old Savior Transfiguration Monastery is located.

Since the end of the eighth century, Slavic settlements appear on the shore of the lake: the city of Ladoga, later - Korela, current Priozersk. At the beginning of the 14th century, the root of the Neva built the fortress of the nut, the current Shlisselburg. Famous monasteries on Valaam and Konevech were founded a little later.

At the end of the 17th century, the southern, northern and west coast of Ladoga Lake moved to Swedish Ingermanland.

The origin of the lake Ladoga

The lake Ladoga basin was formed on an Eastern European platform and the Baltic shield for a very long time - the process began about 400 million years ago. The origin of the lakeside of Lake Lake is a seismic-tectonic, and the crystalline foundation on which is located water, consists of ancient granite, gneis and diabase sediments. However, the age of modern reservoir is much less - Ladoga Lake is about 12,000 years, and it appeared along with the end of the Valdai glaciation. During the ice age, the place where it is now reservoir, covered with an ice shield with a thickness of about 3 km. When the glacier retreated, the water filled the outlines of the lake and cut the relief glacier.

The story of Lake Ladoga argues that in antiquity, the ponds connected in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Karelian Isthmus with the Littorin Sea, and in the lake of the MGA River. Over time, the land in the area of \u200b\u200bthe lake raised, thanks to which the strait in the area was gone, and the reservoir became a closed system. But the waters in the face still arrived, and after some time the lake rose above the coast of the coast and poured into the Valley of the MGU and River Tosna. So the strait was formed between the palm and the Finnish bay, or the modern river Neva.
