It is an inland sea in the northern part of European Russia, a part of the Barents Sea in the Arctic Ocean. It extends deep southwestward from the part between the Kola Peninsula and the Kanin Peninsula in the northern part of the Russian Federation. It includes the Kandalaksha Bay, the Onega Bay, the Dvina Bay, and the Mezeni Bay. Its English name is the White Sea. Its area is about 90,000 square kilometers. The average depth is 67 meters, but the Kandalaksha Bay is somewhat deeper, reaching a depth of 350 meters. Except for the central part, the bay freezes over from October to November, and drift ice exists from May to June. Fishing for herring, cod, salmon, etc., and seal hunting are actively carried out. There are ports in Kandalaksha at the base of the Kola Peninsula, Belomorsk at the northern end of the White Sea-Baltic Canal, Onega at the mouth of the Onega River, Arkhangelsk at the mouth of the Northern Dvina River, and Mezeni at the mouth of the Mezeni River, and they serve as bases for transporting goods to the Arctic Ocean coast. It was Russia's most important bay until the early 18th century when Russia gained access to the Baltic Sea.
