The Solovetsky Archipelago is situated in the northern part of the Onega

The unique nature of the Solovetsky Islands very much depends on the
geographical position and on a very special microclimate - winters are
mild, springs are colder than autumns, summers are cool.
This is why the area of some tens of kilometers on the Solovki Islands of
natural complexes could only be found in similar landscapes on the
mainland but at a distance of many hundreds of kilometers from each
other. Tundra takes 5% of the Archipelago area, forest tundra makes 10
%, taiga forests cover more than 60%, lakes and swamps are
correspondingly 13 and 12 %.
