Laptev Sea

The Laptev Sea is a part of the Arctic Ocean located north of Siberia in Russia. It is characterized by its cold climate, icy waters, and plentiful sea ice that forms and melts seasonally. The sea plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system by helping to regulate temperature and ice movement between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. It is also known for its diverse marine life, including fish, seals, and polar bears, and has significant natural resources like oil and gas. The Laptev Sea is vital for understanding climate change effects in Arctic regions.
