Lomonosov Ridge

Lomonosov Ridge is an underwater mountain range that stretches across the Arctic Ocean, roughly 1,800 kilometers long. It acts as a natural division between the eastern and western parts of the Arctic seabed. Scientists believe it formed from tectonic plate movements and geological processes over millions of years. Its strategic location makes it significant for understanding Arctic geology, climate history, and potential natural resource exploration. Although mostly submerged, parts of the ridge rise close to the surface, and it is a key feature in Arctic research and geopolitics.
