The Solovetsky Islands ((ロシア語:Солове́цкие острова́)), or Solovki (), are an archipelago located in the Onega Bay of the White Sea, Russia. The islands are served by the Solovki Airport. As an administrative division, the islands are incorporated as Solovetsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.〔Law #65-5-OZ〕 Within the framework of municipal divisions, they are incorporated as Solovetskoye Rural Settlement within Primorsky Municipal District.〔Law #258-vneoch.-OZ〕 The administrative center of both divisions is the settlement of Solovetsky, located on Bolshoy Solovetsky Island. Almost all of the population of the islands lives in Solovetsky. As of the 2010 Census, the population of the district was 861 inhabitants. ==Geography== The archipelago has a total area of and consists of six islands: * Bolshoy Solovetsky Island, * Anzersky Island (Anzer), * Bolshaya Muksalma, * Malaya Muksalma * Bolshoy Zayatsky, * Maly Zayatsky, The islands separate the Onega Bay from the main volume of the White Sea. The closest mainland is the Onega Peninsula. The shores of the islands are very indented. They are formed of granites and gneiss. The relief of the islands is hilly (the highest point is 107 m). Most of the Solovetsky Islands are covered with Scots Pine and Norway Spruce forests, which are partially swampy. There are numerous lakes, which were joined by monks so as to form a network of canals. One interesting feature of these islands is stone labyrinths and other stone settings, especially the Stone labyrinths of Bolshoi Zayatsky Island. Such labyrinths were typical for Northern Europe, but most have perished and now Solovetsky Islands have some of the best remaining examples. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solovetsky Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
