First of all, translated from the language of the Sami, the indigenous people of the Kola Peninsula, the name of the lake means “sacred”, which in itself cannot but arouse the curiosity of a person interested. In addition, most researchers of all the paranormal, it is Lake Seydozero that is considered the heart of Hyperborea, which has perished in the abyss of time. Repeatedly expeditions were equipped to the lake, which recorded all kinds of psychological phenomena, oddities that happened to people who fell, and especially those who fell for the first time under the unnatural charm of a natural lake.
There is a hypothesis that Hyperborea did not disappear anywhere, that it exists, it exists. As if on the shores of the lake (and some believe that directly under the water column) there is a whole underground city founded by Hyperborean priests. Who knows, maybe to this day priests walk in its underground corridors, secret rituals are held ?!
Expeditions arriving at the lake often find all kinds of artifacts, either indirectly confirming the hypothesis of the existence of the Hyperborean civilization on the shores of the lake, then also indirectly refuting it. Disputes do not subside, passions boil, which means Hyperborea is alive, and with it the lake, which is called sacred by the Sami, is alive.
