White Karelia

White Karelia (Russian: Беломо́рская Каре́лия, Belomorskaja Karelija; Finnish and Karelian: Vienan Karjala or simply Viena; Estonian: Valge mere Karjala; Swedish: Vitahavskarelen)[1] is a historical region of northeastern Europe, comprising the northernmost part of Karelia, in modern-day Russia. It is bordered by the White Sea to the east, Murmansk Oblast to the north, Finland (Kainuu and eastern North Ostrobothnia) to the west, and the Muyezersky and Segezhsky Districts of the Republic of Karelia to the south.[2][3]

The surface area of White Karelia is approximately 67,000 square kilometres (26,000 sq mi), and its population c. 100,000.[4] The area is largely undeveloped in terms of population centres and infrastructure, and much of it remains wilderness.[2]

Finnish author and linguist Elias Lönnrot collected most of the materials for the epic poem Kalevala in the White Karelia area.[5][3]
