White Sea

White Sea is also a name of the Aegean Sea
Barents Sea, the Kola Peninsula and the White Sea.

The White Sea (Бе́лое мо́ре) is an inlet of the Barents Sea on the North Western coast of Russia. It is surrounded by Karelia to the west, and the Kola peninsula to the north.

The important port of Arkhangelsk is located on the White Sea. For much of Russia's history this was Russia's main centre of international maritime trade. In the modern era it became an important Soviet naval and submarine base.

The whole of the White Sea is under Russian sovereignty (i.e. considered to be internal waters of Russia).
