Environmental features of small subarctic glacial lakes (Khibiny massif, Kola penninsula)
<p>Two subarctic alpine glacial lakes, located at 759 and 812 m above sea level in the Khibiny massif, were investigated. An assessment of the current state of the catchment areas, depth and bottom topography, chemical composition of water and sediments, along with a set of hydrobiological stu...
