Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later Sortavala, which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry. | Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers.
