Kola Bay

Kola Bay (Russian: Кольский залив) or Murmansk Fjord is a 57-km-long fjord of the Barents Sea that cuts into the northern part of the Kola Peninsula. It is up to 7 km wide and has a depth of 200 to 300 metres. The Tuloma and Kola Rivers discharge into the bay.

The eastern shore is craggy and precipitous, the western one is comparatively level. The ports of Murmansk and Severomorsk sit on the east side. Polyarny, the main base of Russia's Northern Fleet, is on the west side of the bay.

Semidiurnal tides in the Murmansk Fjord are as high as 4 metres. In winter, the southern part of the bay may be covered in ice. The Kola Bay Bridge spans the Kola Bay near its southern end.

Kola (song)

"Kola" is a song by the Finnish rock band The Rasmus, originally released on the band's second album Playboys on 29 August 1997.

The song was released as a promotional single in 1997 by the record label Warner Music Finland. It was the second single from the album Playboys and features only the track "Kola".

Kola is a heavier song compared to the other tracks on Playboys. The song is about cola ("Kola" is the Finnish word for "Cola"). The band was at that moment supporting Pepsi, which can clearly be seen on the cover of the CD single.
