The Psel is typically frozen from December to early March. Belovsky District is 60 km south of the city of Kursk, and 520 km south of Moscow. The area measures 40 km (north-south), and 38 km (west-east); total area is 950 km2 (about 3.2% of Kursk Oblast). The administrative center is the town of Belaya.[2]
