The Umba ( Russian Умба ) is a 123 km long river on the Kola Peninsula in Murmansk Oblast ( Russia ).
The river has its origin in Lake Umbosero , 100 km northeast of Kandalaksha , between the Chibinen massif and the Lowosero tundra on the Kola peninsula. From there the Umba flows southwards through a hilly forest landscape. There is a change between rapids and calmer river sections. It flows through several lakes, the largest of which is Lake Kanosero ( ⊙ ). It leaves this by means of two drains 5 km apart - the Kiza and the Rodwinga . The latter splits again into another outflow arm, the nisma . Kiza and Rodwinga reunite in Lake Pontschosero ( ⊙ ), where the river is called Umba again . The Nisma joins the main river a few kilometers further downstream. The Umba flows into the Kandalaksha Bay near the Umba settlement . The largest tributary of the Umba is the Wjala , which flows out of the lake Wjalosero and flows into the Umba about 15 km before the mouth. The Umba catchment area covers 6250 km². At Pajalka , 3.7 km from the mouth, the mean discharge is 80 m³ / s.
The Umba is known as a suitable river for salmon fishing. Together with the Warsuga , it was the first river on the Kola Peninsula to be opened up for fishing tourism for foreigners in the early 1990s. However, salmon numbers have declined in recent years - a result of poaching by the local population facing massive unemployment and the easy accessibility of the river by roads along its course.
The Umba is also used for logging .
