White Sea

The White Sea is a natural inland sea located in northwest Russia, connected to the Arctic Ocean via the Northern Dvina River. It covers around 90,900 square kilometers and is surrounded by the Kola Peninsula, the Arkhangelsk region, and the Kanin Peninsula. Known for its cold climate and diverse marine life, it plays a vital role in regional transportation, industry, and fishing. The White Sea is also historically significant for shipping routes and early Arctic exploration. Its icy waters influence local ecosystems and support unique habitats for Arctic species.
