Arctic Sea Route

The Arctic Sea Route, also known as the Northern Sea Route, is a shipping passage along the northern coast of Russia, connecting Europe and Asia through the Arctic Ocean. As Arctic ice melts due to climate change, this route becomes more navigable during the summer months, offering a shorter alternative to traditional routes like the Suez Canal. It can reduce travel time and costs for transporting goods between Europe and Asia. However, it poses environmental challenges, geopolitical considerations, and safety concerns due to unpredictable ice conditions and fragile ecosystems in the Arctic region.
