Underwater Life, White Sea

There are four main bays or gulfs on the White Sea. Kandalaksha Gulf in on the west. On the south Onega Bay receives the Onega River. To the southeast the Dvina Bay receives the Northern Dvina River at the major port of Arkhangelsk. On the east side of the 'sleeve' connecting the interior of the sea to the Barents Sea opposite the Kola peninsula is Mezen Bay.
The White Sea is one of four seas named in English after common colour terms — the others being the Black Sea, the Red Sea and the Yellow Sea.
