Everything about The White Sea totally explained
The
White Sea () is an
inlet of the
Barents Sea on the northwest coast of
Russia. It is surrounded by
Karelia to the west, the
Kola peninsula to the north, and the
Kanin Peninsula to the northeast.
The important port of
Archangel is located on the White Sea. For much of Russia's history this was Russia's main centre of international maritime trade, conducted by the so-called
Pomors ("seaside settlers") from
Kholmogory. In the modern era it became an important Soviet naval and submarine base. The
White Sea-Baltic Canal connects the White Sea with the
Baltic Sea.
The whole of the White Sea is under Russian sovereignty and considered to be internal waters of Russia.
There are four main bays and gulfs in the White Sea. From west to east, they're the
Kandalaksha Gulf, the
Onega Bay, the
Dvina Bay, and the
Mezen Bay. The main island group in the White Sea is the
Solovetsky Islands.
Kiy Island in Onega Bay is significant due to a historic monastery.
