The book was written for a wide audience of Russian and foreign geologists and can be used as a geological guide.The Kola Peninsula (region) is the northeastern part of the Baltic Shield, which is an area thoroughly covered by geological and geophysical investigations. In the region, any geological field studies can be easily arranged, and its attractive feature is not only the easy access and good exposures of Precambrian structures, but also the diversity of rocks and bodies varying in age, composition, structure, genesis and metallogeny. At the erosion section, one can observe infractustal, supracrustal and plutonic rocks, which were formed and transformed at different depth levels and bear signature of the crustal evolution from the Archean till present
