Tsypnavolok or Tsyp-Navolok () is a rural locality (an inhabited locality) in Pechengsky District of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located on the Rybachy Peninsula by Cape Tsypnavolok, by the Barents Sea.
==History== During the 1860s, the Murmansk coast of the Kola Peninsula was actively being settled. In 1867, a fishing village was established near Cape Tsypnavolok by Kola Norwegians (immigrants from Norway). In 1929, 114 ethnic Norwegians were registered in the area, and therefore in 1930 an ethnic Norwegian rural council (selsoviet) was established. In 1940, the Norwegians were transferred during the ethnic cleansing campaigns near the border, and the selsoviet was abolished.
